Sag at Opening

[Tim Spargo]

Walking in common areas...

That doesn't look right , was a bit "lumpy" on the interior as well.

Ya think balconies are supposed slope towards one another like that?

Thought I'd share.

Seeing as how the gate has the same sag I am guessing you are pulling a fast one on us.

[Tim Spargo]

Nope... if there's a sag in the gate... it's coincidental. Even if you allow for parallel sag, you can still see the reveal above the gate taper from outside to center. On the interior of the units, there's about 3" of diff in height over a 15' area...

The sliding glass doors seem to match the balcony's slope. Does look off. I'm with Bob, optical illusion!!

[Bob Elliott]

Notice the top rails of the two balconies line up straight yet the second floor balcony on the left side section left in the picture is at an impossible angle.
What's going on here ?

Yes I see the stucco patch in between going vertically.

[Tim Spargo]

The simple answer is (but doesn't photo very well), when you're looking out from the inside parking area (behind gate) there is a visible sag / dip at the opening, between the two balconies...

The interior floors were wavy as well...sumthin's a movin.

Place has probably been stucco'd and re-stucco'd and as of recently...patched. Doors opened out of square... posted a pic of one of the interior doors.

Major and creepy structural issue.
Being in California I sure would not stay there.
My daughter is moving west of San Fran and I think shes nuts.

[Tim Spargo]

I have a few dozen pics of job sites I walked around from '94 Earthquake in San Fernando Valley.

While I wouldn't call the first floor "soft"... the pile/pier type of construction for this commercial property lends itself to some specific concerns...

The other problem, of which you're probably familiar, you find structural defects at a HOA/Condo property... they *may not* be in a hurry to get a SE over there... and less likely to comply in a contingency period. For us.. that's a little neither here nor there.

Observe and report.

[Bob Elliott]

I imagine you called for a structural Engineer on that one.

Tim, that symbol in your signature looks like the bar code that got me onto the plane today using the mobile boarding pass. So... what is it?

You need a Android or I phone Kenton.
You must not be reading the forum much.

It is always on.
As you can see I do not sleep much.

Just to give you a less smart a-s answer the symbol is a bar code and the Android/i phones can scan them to go anywhere you wish including dialing a phone number immediately on scan.
Anyone not having theses phones is getting left behind on many levels.
The world is changing fast .

In keeping with the Chicago theme, she is probably moving to Daly City...... west of San Francisco you know.
