This is significant documentary addition to the tragedy by the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. This letter was sent by the condo association president in April. It is follow-up to the 2018 Morabito report and states plainly that the deterioration in either the columns or the concrete structual slab or both has worsened significantly since. $15M in repairs were estimated by Morabito, who was to do the repairs, in 2021. The condo association was on top of it, the letter is thorough, the problems are clearly identified for unit owners, the costs justified, and owners are forewarned that the deterioration could be greater when Morabito digs deep and the costs even greater. I would be surprised if anyone finds fault with the condo association. No one could have been aware that the "foundation," catchall for the fundamental support of the building, was two months away from giving way entirely at the time of this letter. Only when the building was completely unpeeled would that have been evident, and I thought when I read this that the building would have collapsed when Morabito began the work.
