Construction Damage to Adjoining Buildings
When
constructing a building, care must be taken to protect adjoining buildings.
This is especially critical in the City of New York, where there are many attached
buildings. The City of New York has specific code requirements for how adjoining
buildings are to be protected. Despite all the protections in place, adjoining
buildings often suffer damage.
In many cases, building codes are ignored by contractors trying to complete a
job quickly. Sometimes, the affect is a simple as a few cosmetic cracks.
In other cases, serious structural or foundation damage occurs.
In performing these investigations, Heimer Engineering's Engineers analyze the
building and assess the damage. If appropriate, photographs or measurements
are taken to document the conditions at the site. The scope of the damage
is determined, and a report is prepared.
After examining the site, a report is prepared describing the conditions at the
site, the cause of the damage, and the code and reference standard violated.
The reports are clearly written and help all parties understand the scope and cause
of the damage.
In
many cases, the clearly written reports can help facilitate a quick resolution.
If the case has to be litigated in a court of law, Heimer Engineering's licensed
Professional Engineers are ready to serve as
expert witnesses in a court of law.
Staff Engineers have qualified as expert witnesses
in Federal Courts
and at all levels of
New York State
Courts.
