Center Court engineering reports received; magistrate tables repairs for 60 days to allow timeline and walk‑through
Summary
Property managers for Center Court presented engineering letters and safe‑to‑occupy statements for exposed balcony cracks and rebars; the building department confirmed receipt and inspectors said permits for repairs exist. The magistrate gave the owner 60 days and directed a joint walk‑through and timeline submission.
Management for Center Court told the special magistrate they submitted engineering reports and safe‑to‑occupy statements for exposed cracks and exposed rebars on balconies and stairwells at 14695 Northeast 18th Avenue. Inspector Jonathan Lemestri said the violation originated in October 2022 and remained open; building staff confirmed receipt of engineering letters and said the buildings were considered safe to occupy for now.
Management said permits for repairs have been issued and initial work is underway; the inspector said the property still appears largely unchanged since 2022. Magistrate Beatrice Quezzo granted a 60‑day continuance and directed the owner/management to coordinate with Inspector Lemestri to produce a reasonable repair timeline and to schedule a joint walk‑through so the inspector can verify completed work and next steps.
Inspector Lemestri noted the property must complete the permitted repairs and provide updates to avoid fines or further enforcement action; the magistrate emphasized the importance of a concrete timeline and follow‑up.
