Damaged concrete

mardi 6 juillet 2021 à 02:00

The condo board of the collapsed Florida apartment building disputed for a long time what to do about the damaged concrete.

I can understand the disagreement in the board. The owners of the building were the residents; some of them might have been bankrupted by a $100,000 expense. If they had realized that the alternative was likely to include collapse of the building, I suppose they would have closed the pool and said "Fix the damage right away," or moved out immediately if the collapse was likely to happen soon. But the engineers did not tell them (and I suppose did not know) that collapse was likely.

What a dilemma.
