Roseland Community Center Project # 17-0201 August 15, 2017 Exterior Findings: • MBV Engineering, Inc. performed an exterior elevation survey at the south side of the structure to determine current ADA compliance with the sidewalk slopes and to determine the current nature in which water drains in this area. • The stairs to the west of the structure are currently out of level and the risers are not within code tolerances. • A block structure hiding a water system was found on the west side of the structure between the stairs and the western wall. This system being on the exterior of the building with no entry door and no permanent roof is not code compliant. 6. Proposed Repairs The following is recommended for proper repair: Roofing System: • MBV Engineering, Inc. proposes an entire reroof be performed. The Florida Building Code — Existing Building section 706.1.1 states, "Not more than 25 percent of the total roof area or roof section of any existing building or structure shall be repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12 -month period unless the entire existing roofing system or roof section is replaced to conform to requirements of this code." MBV Engineering, Inc. believes the amount of damages to the members and sheathing will encompass more than 25% of the roof area and due to this an entire reroof is necessary. Where marked on the plans roof sheathing needs to be replaced and nailed per the schedule on sheet S3 in Appendix B. We recommend keeping the same type of roofing systems on the different areas. Roofing materials shall be installed in accordance with current code requirements. Floor System: • All rotted floor framing components shall be removed and replaced with new code compliant members. All floor sheathing in these areas shall also be removed and replaced appropriately. In order to have full access a great portion of the sheathing will have to be removed. • Shims need to be installed at the locations noted on the plans in Appendix A. • While the drywall is removed from the interior walls MBV Engineering, Inc. recommends jacking up the structure to bring the interior floor slopes within 0.5% slope. MBV Engineering, Inc. recommends bringing the structure up until no point is less than 1.25 inches beneath the zero set during the original investigation. The areas which need to be lifted are marked on the plans seen on sheet S6 in Appendix B. Windows: • All windows need to be resealed or remounted to ensure no future leaks occur in the structure. • Window trims need to be removed and replaced accordingly. • The masonry cracks in the window wells need to be properly sealed to prevent moisture from intruding into the structure. • The window with the broken muntin needs to be properly repaired or replaced. • A new screen needs to be installed at the window marked on the plans.
