The intend of the owner is to build a house with basically the same facade, design and root as
the old building. As the current structure is unsafe, un- repairable and unlivable in it is
economically not usable by the owner if not demolished and a new structure is build.
The new structure would improve the area as the current burnt out and boarded up shell is a
disgrace to the area. The new dwellin,-- in on oEd retro style - would add to the ambience of
this designated historic area.

Miami, Florida
Re: Structural Report
Project: Residence
1010-NW 9th Court
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir;
On July 9, 2003 we performed a structural inspection of the above referenced
building. The structure was damaged by fire and has been abandoned for many
years. In addition, the interior of the structure has been exposed to rain from
openings in the roof that has accelerated the damage, in particular causing dry -
rot to all of the wood framed elements of the structure. The purpose of our
inspection was to determine if the present building is structurally unsafe or could
be renovated and brought up to the current requirements of the Florida Building
Code. It appears that the Florida Building Code standards (and FEMA
Standards) would be to meet the structural requirements of a repair in excess of
the 50 % Rule.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The structure is a two-story residential building that is in excess of eighty years
old. The footprint of the existing structure appears to be original with no additions
to the building. Therefore, all structural components are of the same age and
condition.
The building construction consists of a specially constructed exterior load -bearing
and non -load bearing walls. The walls are constructed with wood framing studs
with a concrete "shell" constructed on the outside and inside of the wall. The
thickness is approximately 12 inches wide and does not conform to conventional
standards. The exterior concrete "shell" walls are on a concrete (un-reinforced)
spread footing foundation. The first floor is elevated from the ground by several
steps.
7850 NW 146 STREET, SUITE 509 • MIAMI LAKES, FL 33016 • (305)823-3938 • FAX (305)823-9355
The roof is a wood framed, steep -sloped roof system that is supported by the
exterior bearing walls. The roof rafters are tied (around the perimeter) into the
ceiling joists. The first and second floors are wood framed joists that are also
keyed into the exterior concrete "shell" walls. The exterior wall and floor framing
are an integrated system dependent on each other for stability.
SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS
We have evaluated the following structural items to determine the extent of
construction that would be required to bring the structure to current Florida
Building Code requirements;
A. Foundation:
1. The current foundation consists of a concrete spread footing
foundation. The size of the footing is 10"x 24" and we could not
determine the extent (if any) of continuous reinforcement. The current
Code requires a minimum footing size of 12"x24" with 3- #5 rebar for a
two story structure when the structure is being brought up to "Code".
2. Site observations indicate that a pile foundation may not required and
a spread footing is adequate, however, we will need a minimum soil
bearing pressure of 2000 psf. confirmed by a soil boring test and
certified by a testing lab.
B. Exterior Bearing Walls: (See Pictures)
1. All exterior walls are twelve (12) inches in thickness (approximately),
and are constructed of wood framed studs with a concrete "shell" on
each side that extends from the spread footing foundation to the
intersection of the roof rafters.
2. There is no horizontal truss reinforcement in the existing "shell", or
any vertical reinforcement to reinforce the walls. The Building Code
requires 1-#5 bar to be added to the walls at two (2) foot intervals in a
CMU wall without horizontal truss reinforcement.
3. There are no tie columns in corners or at intervals along the walls.
4. The windows and doors currently have no filled cells at each side or
contain any reinforcement. Filled cells with 1- # 5 rebar must be
added each side of all doors and windows per Code.
5. All doors and windows must be removed and replaced with units that
are Dade County Product Approved.
C. Floor System: (See Pictures)
1. The Florida Building Code specifically requires the finished first floor
elevation to be at, or above, the flood elevation. The existing finished
first floor elevation is at +7.07 NGVD (according to current survey)
and must be raised to Elevation +9.00 NGVD (flood elevation). This is
also a requirement by FEMA. The only way to achieve this
requirement would be to remove the existing structure.
2. The first and second floor is constructed with 2"x10" wood joists at 16"
on center. The joists are completely rotted and deteriorated (from
termites and continuous water damage).
3. The first and second floors, as well as the wood stairway, are unsafe
due to the deteriorated bearing on the exterior and interior bearing
walls. The second floor has completely failed and dropped in several
areas.
4. The second floor porch floor and port-cochere are badly damaged and
have failed in many locations and are unsafe.
5. The front entrance porch floor is a concrete slab on fill with a tile
surface. The slab has settled and cracked and shows separation from
the walls.
D. Roof System:(See Pictures)
1. The sloped roof is constructed of 2"x6" rafters at 24"o.c. with wood
sheathing. The rafters are supported along the perimeter on the
exterior "shell" wall. The ceiling joists (2"x 6" at 16"o.c.) are keyed into
the existing exterior wall and rafters.
2. We did not observe any hurricane anchors anywhere throughout the
building.
3. The built-up roofing system is in need of replacement.
4. The roof sheathing is in need of replacement in most areas.
5. The exposed roof rafters and sheathing must be removed and
replaced due to excessive water damage.
6. The perimeter overhang (soffit) is rotted and deteriorated throughout
the building.
E. Interior Bearing walls: (See Pictures)
All interior bearing walls are constructed of 2" x 4" studs at 16"o.c.
The walls are supported on concrete foundations. The studs exhibit
extreme rot and deterioration throughout the structure. The bathroom
walls have a considerable amount of deterioration from water
penetration into the walls.
2. All walls are water damaged and smoke damaged due to the fire and
should be removed and replaced.
3. The kitchen cabinets, counters, and appliances are completely
damaged.
F. Exterior Surfaces:
The exterior stucco surfaces are in poor condition. There are several
settlement cracks that are existing and that have been repaired during
past painting and repair.
2. The windows and doors are in need of removal and replacement. The
existing units are damaged, deteriorated, and many windows have
broken glass and frames.
3. The high roof drains on the lower sloped roof and flat roof areas. In
addition a considerable amount of water is retained in several areas
on the lower roofs.
G. Utilities:
1. All electrical wirings, plugs, switches, Tight fixtures and service must
be brought up to current code.
2. All plumbing water and sanitary lines as well as fixtures must meet the
current code.
3. The mechanical (A/C) systems must be replaced and brought to
current code.
CONCLUSIONS
We conclude from our inspection that the existing building is structurally unsafe
and a hazard for anyone to enter the building. If an attempt is made to meet the
standards of the Florida Building Code, renovation would require removal of the
entire structure. The following is a summary of the basic deficiencies and Florida
Building Code requirements:
a. The floor must be raised to the Floor Elevation of +9.0 NGVD.
b. The existing foundation is inadequate to provide the minimum bearing
capacity for a two story structure that would be required on exterior
wall surfaces.
c. The existing walls do not conform to the minimum standards required
by the Florida Building Code. The walls would require tie columns at
corners and #5 rebar must be installed at 2'-0" intervals around the
perimeter of the building.
d. Tie beams would be required around the perimeter of the walls at the
roof line.
e. Windows and doors must be reinforced at each side (with a minimum
of 145 bar in a filled cell), and a concrete lintel or tie beam over the
opening. This would be the minimum to provide for the design bad
requirements for new windows and hurricane shutters.
f. All window and door units must be non -impact windows with hurricane
shutters or Impact Units. (Dade County Product Approved)
g. All roof members must be strapped with hurricane anchors and
replaced as required.
h. Interior bearing wall studs are in complete need of replacement in
their entirety.
i. Roof framing and sheathing needs to be replaced in all flat roofs and
selectively repair and replaced elsewhere.
j. The roofing system must be replaced with a new built-up roofing
system.
k. Downspouts, exterior stucco surfaces and many cracks require repair.
I. The electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems must be brought up
to the current Code.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We conclude from our inspection that the existing structure is unsafe and
hazardous even for workmen. All structural systems including the foundation,
exterior walls, interior walls, first and second floors, roof framing, sheathing and
roofing material have completely failed and have no useful life remaining. The
50% rule requires bringing all systems to Code (in their entirety) as well as
bringing the first floor to minimum flood elevation (+9.0' NGVD). Raising the floor
to flood elevation would require demolishing the structure. We therefore,
conclude that no element of the existing structure can be saved and recommend
complete demolition of the existing structure as soon as possible.
Please call if we can provide any additional information or assistance.
