If Brian thinks they are not about to collapse, a letter saying so would be great. We got a report for another building
with a different owner and the comment was that the building was in "relative good structural condition" and list
several areas that were failing. This letter went on to say there was not a sudden collapse potential.
We will go ahead and placard the structures post May 16th until we receive a letter.
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
What Brian provided me was suggested repairs and did not state they were or were not in imminent threat of collapse.
All of the buildings are unoccupied so placards should be fine until I get a letter stating whether they are in imminent
danger of collapse or not or I complete the repairs. Sorry for the delays.
Let me know how you want to proceed.
Thanks,
Dave

Gentlemen,
With reference to our letter of January 17, 2012 and subsequent follow up e-mails and phone calls, the only option we
have at this time is to placard the buildings as UNSAFE TO OCCUPY and order the evacuation of the structures as per
Sections 110 of the International Fire Code and Section 116 of the international Building Code, until the requested
reports are submitted to verify the buildings are in fact safe to occupy. As per field inspections from our inspectors, it
appears the buildings continue to settle out of level and plumb. It would appear these structures could collapse which is
a life safety issue.
