Cloister Unit # 65 - 2
Dan,
Will you require the new permit application to be reviewed under the
standard you articulated that it take into consideration the effect on
the entire structure? We do not see where the engineer ring makes any
analysis of the effect on the structure or certifies the design for the
benefit of the association or other condominium unit owners. The bottom
line is does this engineer certify that if his design is properly
constructed it will restore the vertical support required for the third
story floor.
Do you understand that the “owner” of the structural elements is the
condominium association for the benefit of all of the owners and not the
Campbells? That is the nature of all condominiums as common elements are
owned by all members who own an undivided interest in the common
elements wherever located.
Please provide us a copy of any permit application or related
correspondence once available.
Sincerely,
Barry

Ryan,
We just spoke on the phone, regarding the permit for the repair
of a bottom plate in Cloister Unit # 65.
When we first talked about this repair, we discussed submitting
a revision to the DEMO20-0018 Permit as the fastest way to permit the
work.
I understood the critical timeframe (and still understand) the
Campbells were under and I approved the revision without using our
standard and more lengthy process.
It has now come to my attention that a second contractor did the
work under the permit held by the first contractor.
That situation cannot be approved and I have no choice but to
reverse my approval and void the previously approved revision
(Attached).
As we just discussed, your contractor will apply for a new
permit for the repair work to the bottom plate.
Please know that this work can only be approved as a repair to
that bottom plate.
There may be other structural defects that may require
additional engineering and repair, as determined by future legal and
technical discussions.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dan Arlington
