In hindsight, the building never should have been renovated in the first place. But if the change in the water table happened after the renovation, it would have been impossible to spot in advance. Hard to say if the engineering survey missed something, or if a change elsewhere destabilized the building. Regardless, sucks for all involved.

Totally. And I’m just being a jerk. Lots of nice stuff in harbor point.

Oh no, I totally get it. Any time an entire building needs to be vacated, it is right and fair to criticize the developer for that. BLT absolutely needs to account for this moving forward. At a minimum so the buildings can be properly insured.

Hopefully the city has enough info to reach a proper conclusion about the root cause, because if a change somewhere else made this happen we want to avoid repeating that mistake too. Cheers!
