Architect discovers (e) charter school, and it's proposed k-12 classroom(s) expansion within (e) City mall is non-compliant.
Four years ago, the new tenant school did not obtain structural risk factor survey-certification for (e) building during change of use permit(retail to educ). B.O. apparently did not require it and says "occupancy is only for webinar programs, no on site students"...(so the (e) three classrooms and 60 elementary age kids present the day we measured facility were midgets ?).
(E) building is some 50k s.f., is 65% rented with retail and the school will-is occupying 35%. A very disruptive scenario was presenting itself.
Following architect's recommendation to provide structural survey and any cure measures - and some serious hand wringing from Contractor, B.O. and School Admin. - architect terminated and paid in full by Contractor-Client. Plans were 90% complete.
Given an unpopular discovery, payment in full and shown the door, one wonders if the odor is a rat. If true rats, what protocol- if any- to follow here ?
Thanks in advance.
PS- this is an awesome forum - well done !
