278 SCARROW: Observations 02/24/2012
The floor elevation of 278 Scarrow appears to be lower than the elevation of Scarrow
Ave. to the north of the building.
The building at 278 Scarrow displays differential foundation settlement. It appears that
the west side has settled relative to the east.
The drainage between buildings 278 Scarrow and 268 Scarrow is of concern. It appears
that ponding surface water between the two buildings has collected in this area and
contributing to differential foundation settlement. (See photo 1381.jpg) The two
buildings lean towards one another. The rate of lean is relatively uniform along the length
of the buildings. This appears to indicate that the west side of 278 Scarrow has settled
relative to the east, and the east side of 268 Scarrow has settled relative to the west.
The exterior, precast, wall panels display numerous fine cracks. Cracks are common
adjacent to windows and man doors. (See photo 1376.jpg)
The interior slab on grade slopes to the southwest, indicating that the southwest corner of
the building has settled more than the balance of the foundation.
