Kevin,
I copied you on an email chain, because it was getting a little bit sticky.
Here is a follow-up email from the owner with the settlement cracking.
Just an FYI…

Dan, sorry that your judgement is being questioned by folks who are simply trying to cover their rear and not address the problem, however thanks to you the board approved getting three
bids from forensic structural engineers at tonight's meeting. I'm not sure how much help the two design engineers would be since it may ultimately be determined they have some culpability
but who knows. It may be two more months before the board decides IF they will actually hire an engineer. In the meantime we are pursuing hiring our own. I would not be surprised if
mgt. co. and/or Allison try to get the board to just go with the architect' s report. We shall see. Thanks again, more progress than we've had since this began.

Alison,
I want you to know that I take your concerns very seriously.
I am trying to be careful to not damage your property values or the perception of your buildings.
I am not a structural engineer and I cannot do the evaluation needed here, but I have been building, repairing, and inspecting buildings for a long time and I am very sure that we have
a settlement/deflection issue somewhere beneath Unit #66, that needs to be resolved.
I plan to call the two engineers that designed the remodel of Units #65 and 64, tomorrow, and see if they are interested in helping.
I will keep you informed of anything I do or find out.
Sincerely,
Dan Arlington, CBO

Dan,
Since neither you nor Paul have inspected #64 or 65, I find it extremely reckless for you to say that there is “settling” in those units. There is not and we don’t need a structural
engineer to determine that! You are welcome to inspect these units and verify for yourself. I take complete exception to your misstatements and careless innuendos.

in the Howell residence and render an opinion as to the cause. We did that and provided a written report to the insurance company. We also accordingly have informed the local building
authorities of the issues we believe that are occurring and should be addressed.

>> As we discussed when we met on Monday, I want the inspection of units 64. 65 and 66 to be done ASAP. As we also discussed, all permitting and approvals were received for the renovations
of units 64 and 65 from the city of atlantic beach, although your letter suggests otherwise. In my opinion, those required at the meeting are you, me, the campbells (#65 owners),
their contractor if they wish and the Howells, if they wish. I am not willing to wait for a response from Mr. DiGiacomo as to his availability for the inspections.
