Danny Rivero: There were structural deficiencies identified that probably went back all the way to the construction of this building. And a lot of it has to do just with the fact that the pool deck was built flat, which is a huge no-no. I mean, even me, as a non-construction person, knows you don’t build flat.

And there is also the inability of the condo board to get residents on board for paying for these repairs.
The funny thing about this 2018 report is that my understanding is that it wasn’t required. The condo board decided to do it, and then they got this information back. It’s kind of like careful what you wish for, because the engineer is basically like, “You need to shore up the entire building,” and then the question becomes who’s going to pay for all that.
