The new parapet law passed earlier this year, as part of LL 126, requires annual inspections. Although parapets haven’t received as much scrutiny as parking garages or building facades, they are equally exposed to the elements and require experts like Central Construction to discern and repair any cracks, crumbling masonry, or small fissures. https://lnkd.in/ekBDhf3s #centralconstructionmanagement #NYC #newyork #construction #LocalLaw126 #inspection

"Though a detailed investigation would be needed to determine the cause, Wiebe says he guesses the building deteriorated over time and eventually reached its breaking point." Consider periodic building evaluations with trusted consultants. For example, take a detailed look at your parking garage, roof, balconies, facade, windows & doors with a professional to take measures before you reach that 'breaking point' and avoid worst-case scenarios. #buildingassessments #conditionsurvey #engineers #buildingscience #engineers #ACMO #CMRAO #CAO #AndrejsManagement

Attention all #HOA, community, #strata and #propertymanagers! We know dealing with complaints, stress, and anxiety on your properties can be a real challenge. While it's not entirely possible to eliminate these issues, we at RHINO Sound Control believe that prevention is the best way to go. High-rise buildings usually have a 6” or 8” thick concrete slab for the floor and ceiling assembly, with no suspended ceilings. Best Practice to #ReduceNoise: Make sure your #condo bylaws or rules are tailored to your #highrisebuildings construction type. For example: Your #acoustic underlayment should be tested over an 8” concrete slab with NO suspended ceiling assembly, rated FIIC 70. By setting the right standards, we can make our #buildings quieter and more comfortable for everyone. Let’s work together to create a #betterliving environment! 🏢🔇 #PropertyManagement #NoiseControl #CondoLiving #RHINOSoundControl

When it comes to building repairs, understanding the distinction between structural and general repairs is important, so let’s review the key differences:- Structural Repairs: focus on enhancing a building’s deterioration. Extensive work is required, addressing issues like concrete decay, leaking roofs and balconies. Repairing these issues ensures the building’s stability and safety and requires a specialised remedial builder to assess damage and recommend a solution. General Repairs: are simple patch-ups for everyday wear and tear. Items such as fixing broken windows, loose cupboard doors and separated bricks on walls. While enhancing aesthetics and functionality, general repairs do not directly impact the building’s structural integrity. #ProtelumProjects #remedialbuilder #construction #projectmanagement #restoration #buildingrepairs #structuralrepairs #leakingroof #concretedecay
