Cloister condo meeting - 8Dan,
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.

>> Dan,
>> 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.
