“The building is in fact on piles, not footings (to clear up some info I’ve been seeing). So if it had ongoing settling as the 90s report indicated that is quite unusual.

Yes, the legal reason we were discussing is a condominium conversion would have required a change of ownership of the property, requiring a complete inspection of every part of the building to protect the new owners.

There was no change of ownership, thus no complete inspection, only routine city inspections and routine procedures to get the original owners (all the Tenants) to pay for building maintenance.

It was a missed opportunity, by circumstance, to repair critical structural issues.
