Owner concerns regarding both the reliability of previous condition studies and the presence of active water infiltration prompted the Owners to retain K&H to perform an independent professional condition assessment of the exterior building envelope. The inspected areas included the main building roof and associated rooftop structures, courtyard, and the masonry building facades. Visual inspections were performed from ground level and other accessible locations using digital photography and hi-powered binoculars. Close-up, hands-on inspections of facades as accessed from suspended scaffold were not permitted. Investigative core samples were taken to determine the composition of the existing roofing system. Invasive probes were not performed in the masonry facades during the inspections.
