The above building, based upon actual interior and exterior inspection and review of building permit records, exhibits the following deficiencies that in our professional opinion contribute to justifying substantial renovation or clearance: Structural Elements . Defects in exterior building shell: west wall structural1y deflected from roof to foundation (not plumb); west wall and southwest comer contain various major and minor settlement cracks Essential Utilities & Facilities . Deficient in facilities for disabled: lack of designated disability parking available; lack of maneuvering clearance at entrance; lack of maneuvering clearance and accessible hardware at interior doors; lack of maneuvering clearance and accessible features at toilet rooms .

Defects in exterior building shell: stucco-type finish failing on south wall; roof membrane tom at roof edge (not weather-tight) on south end; stucco parapet/fascia damaged on north wall (lathe reinforcing exposed) Code Test Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax increment law also provides that a building may not be considered structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the ClUTent building code at a cost ofless than 15% of the cost of constructing a new building of the same square footage and type on the same site.
