The following items do require attention but we have different alternatives to consider, or require more investigation so as to determine the extent of damage.

  1. The balconies with loose facia. I was able to examine one of the lower balconies and what I found is that the substrate is decayed. This probably explains why some of the facia is loose but requires more investigation.
  2. The exit door leading from the 1st floor to the stairwell doesn't close. We need to investigate further to determine cause.
  3. The storage shed in the parking lot has rotten sidewalls. We will determine if we actually need it or can it just be removed?
  4. Any large scale wall repair like in unit 302 needs further investigation
  5. To repair the floors we have a couple of different options. Some of the floors need reapir, or spot replacement of tile, others are showing signs that the sub-floor installation may have been defective. We suggest that if substantial repair is required that we install ceramic tile.

If you need any clarifications please don't hesitate in contacting us.
