A building still under construction… not an old one that has deteriorated over many years, then.

Ye Gods.

Actually an existing office building that is in the process of being converted into Apartments.

The potential scenarios are terrifying … at least they’ve spotted it early.

Not only being converted into apartments.

“With more than 1,600 units, the developers say the project is the largest office-to-residential conversion in the city’s history. Gensler, the architectural firm leading the project, says on its website that it is transforming a pair of 1970s-era office buildings by adding more than a dozen stories and redesigning an adjoining tower”

I’ll bet the developer is checking their liability insurance contract, and the contract with their structural engineer with a magnifying glass right now.
