The unit is part of a condominium conversion of a two and a half story wood- framed residence. The unit is located at the rear-left (northwest) portion of the main house, and includes a one-story ell off the northwest corner of the main house. The specific purpose of the visit was to assess the condition of the right side/east foundation wall and the framing of the ell. For the purposes of this report, the front of the house faces south. Following is a summary of our structural observations, along with our noted conditions and recommendations below. Recommendations are shown in italics following noted conditions. Noted Conditions and Recommendations The floors have a noticeable slope from west-to-east, especially at the bathroom. When viewing the framing below the ell, we noted improper connections of headers and trimmers, and some areas that lacked headers/trimmers entirely. It appears as though most of these improper modifications were made to accommodate plumbing work. The framing in this area should either be sistered with full-length wood joists, or properly supported with headers and trimmers supported by new Simpson-type metal hangers. Alternately, the entire floor or sections of the floor may be re-framed if the carpenter deems this a more practical approach. For either option, please note that plumbing and electrical work will need to be relocated, either temporarily or permanently to facilitate the work. It is also likely that the slope is due to sill deterioration at the east wall of the ell. This should be confirmed when the wall is shored and a portion of siding and sheathing removed. When the sill is fully exposed, particularly from the exterior, the condition of the sill can be fully evaluated and repaired or replaced as necessary. For the purposes of pricing, full replacement should be budgeted for. The east foundation wall of the ell is bowing slightly inward, and there are several large gaps in the wall due to shifting that was (and possibly is still active) severe enough to have resulted in stones being dislodged from the wall and onto the basement floor of the ell. The return at the northeast corner of the ell is also damaged. • The west section of foundation wall, approximately 15 feet long, should be replaced with fully grouted 12 inch nominal concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall construction set on a continuous cast-in-place concrete footing. The replacement section should include either a 24"return at the northeast corner of the ell or the corner should be locally repaired(re-pointed and loose stones re-set). Each end of the replacement section should be anchored to the existing portions to remain with adhesive-set or grouted rebar dowels. Please note that the framing is ry r r 152 Boston Street 24 October 2011 Salem, MA Structures North balloon-framed, which means that the sill will need to be supported with needle-type shoring prior to and during the foundation wall reconstruction. Alternately, the first floor framing may be shored from the interior while the ceiling and roof framing is supported by exterior shoring prior to and during the foundation wall reconstruction. If only the first floor framing is shored during the foundation wall removal, a collapse of the first floor exterior wall that supports the ceiling and roof framing is likely. Report Limitations This report is a summary of readily visible observations conducted during a single site visit to the property. No finishes were removed to expose hidden structure and no calculations have been P performed to determine if the overall building framing or foundations of the structure comply with past or present building codes unless specifically noted. Please note that additional issues may arise during the course of construction. This report is strictly limited to structural considerations noted. Egress, guard rails, fire protection, and other building systems were not reviewed, and they are beyond the scope of this report. If you have any questions regarding this report or require any details, a project manual or any field consultation for the above noted repairs, please contact us.
