Gary,
Recently I performed an inspection of the boxed -out fireplaces with brick veneer for numerous
units at the above referenced address. My inspection identified that the brick veneer on the
majority of these fireboxes has moved causing spaces/gaps between the firebox brick veneer and
the brick veneer to the exterior wall of the units. These gaps range in size from approximately '/4"
to 3/4" plus.
History of this project identified that the concrete slabs supporting the brick veneer in question
had shifted, resulting in corrective measures being required by the City. At that time, the City
required that all fireboxes constructed in this manner be evaluated by an engineer and corrected
as needed. Unfortunately these evaluations are missing from our records and it is unknown if
corrective actions on all units were required.
In order to determine code compliance in construction techniques employed and as the contractor
of record responsible for the original construction of these units, I am requiring that you submit to
me an engineer's report. The report is to address the possible reason for the brick movement,
whether the movement is ceased or likely to continue and corrective actions needed to stabilize
the brick and repair gaps. The report is to specifically address the following units: 1, 5, 7, 8, 11,
12, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, 23, 25, 34, and 3013. The report is to be submitted within 30 days of
receipt of this notice, with all indicated repairs completed within 60 days of this notice.
