I’ll have to put towels on the window sills when it hits. They put these condos up in 2005 at the height of the bubble, and they did a shoddy job with the windows. Rain itself isn’t a problem, but just add strong winds, and everything leaks. It’s an annoyance.

Yes...the balcony is similar. It juts out, like a bay window, which is quite nice and stylish, but that makes the roof overhang useless. Then add strong wind and it’s a problem.

My building was constructed in the 80’s before Hurricane Andrew.

The good thing is that it survived Andrew.

The bad thing is that it is built to the old codes.
