- Description
- The property is currently undergoing extensive renovations, and I have serious concerns regarding its structural stability. The building appears to be leaning to the right, and the remaining exterior brick wall looks severely deteriorated and potentially unstable. I am particularly concerned that if this wall were to collapse, falling bricks and debris could cause significant damage to the neighboring property and potentially result in serious injuries. There are children living directly next door, making this an especially urgent safety concern. I have already contacted the property owner directly to express my concerns about the condition of the wall and the potential danger it poses. Unfortunately, I have not received a response, and given the apparent condition of the structure, I feel it is necessary to bring this matter to the attention of the appropriate city authorities. I am requesting an urgent inspection by Boston Inspectional Services to determine whether the remaining brick wall and surrounding structure are safe, particularly as demolition and construction continue. I would also like the city to verify that the remaining masonry wall is adequately supported, that appropriate structural safeguards are in place, and that the renovation is proceeding in accordance with approved building permits and structural engineering plans. I have attached photographs documenting the conditions that prompted my concerns. My intention is not to interfere with the renovation but to ensure that the work is being performed safely and that neighboring properties and residents are not being placed at unnecessary risk. Given the potential consequences of a structural failure, I would appreciate prompt attention to this matter and confirmation that the appropriate inspections have been conducted.
