There was evidence of infrastructure problems as a distortion began to grow in the ceiling of one of the apartments on the third floor. Probes and exploratory demolition found that one of the wood ceiling joists had failed. It was determined that the failed joist as well as several intersecting joists should be sistered and reinforced. Integrated within this project the electrical facilities and finishes were also replaced.
