4- <br />. ? <br />today. Mr. Engolia questioned if she thought he was qualified to do what this engineer is <br />asking. Ms. Boger indicated that they are not willing to take down anything that is good, <br />but they will clear out anything that is acceptable. She indicated that Sam Riolo has looked <br />at the site and he has been in this area for 10 years. He is the best mason; she can get <br />recommendations from her building department. He and she have worked there for 15 <br />years both. Someone has to tell her that something is no good for them to take it down. <br />Her insurance is not covering this and there is not a lot of money to be recovered from this. <br />She is going to have to find the money to clear up the site and repair everything wrong, but <br />if there is a wall that is perfectly good and there is no reason for it to come down, and she <br />would hope the board would back her up on that. Mr. Engolia indicated that they wouldn't <br />like to take down any wa11s that are good. The board is not here to persecute anybody; all <br />they want to do is see these residents get a house that will last 100 years. They don't want <br />to give Ms. Boger a bad time and he never met these residents, but this board has to <br />function with what they have. Mr. Puzzitiello questioned if the downspouts were in <br />because he didn't see any. Mr. Cifranic indicated that they were put in after the back fill. <br />They are in the front rear and they stoned all the way up to the downspouts. They didn't <br />run the storm sewers yet. They were going to run the downspouts around the house and <br />then dig the sewers in later. 1VIr. Althen questioned if they were even going to dig the <br />water tap in later. Mr. Cifranic replied yes. The sanita.ry sewer and the storm sewers aren't <br />deep enough to make the basement anyway. Mr. Engolia suggested that he was at a loss as <br />to what the proper thing to do is. He questioned if Mr. Rymarczyk thought that the <br />engineer's report was acceptable to the City. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated that it was a <br />structural engineer. Mr. Puzzitiello indicated that the engineer's report would work to fix <br />the problems, but it is really going to be a pain to do it. Mr. Klesta indicated that it would <br />be easier to take it all out and start over. Except cost wise, he wasn't sure which direction <br />was wiser to go. Mr. Puzzitiello indicated that he would have to know who contractor that <br />would do the mason work would be. Ms. Boger replied that she would like to see Sam <br />Riolo do it, rather thari taking all the materials back. Mr. Puzzitiello questioned what she <br />was talking about. 1VIs. Boger indicated that if she is not doing the job then she needs to <br />take back the materials. Mr. Klesta indicated that she is still going to be doing the job, it <br />will just be a different contractor will be doing the labor part of it. He questioned what the <br />homeoumers would like to see because this is going to he the house they will have to live in <br />for the next hopefully 100 years. Mrs. Busony replied that she would rather see it start <br />over, only because when the bobcat fell there was so much impact that it could have made <br />the walls or foundation unstable. 1Vfi-. Engolia indicated that there should be a new footer <br />for the west wall where that bobcat fell. This is not going to be an easy job to fix, if you <br />want to leave the wall and block up that is not damaged, you have to make sure that the <br />footer is right and that it is going to go up. So the boaxd wants to know that the man who <br />is going to do the job knows what he is doing. We don't want the same thing happening <br />here. Mr. Klesta indicated that the whole foundation could be structurally unsound as far <br />as the walls do need to be shored up and back filled to lft. 6 inches above to the top. None <br />of that was done because the walls caved in. They're shored up now, but it is a little late. <br />W. Engolia indicated that Ms. Boger is agreeing that she needs to take care of that back <br />footer. She doesn't want to touch the front (east) wa11. He just wants to see the job done <br />right and he wasn't sure how to go about getting this done. Mr. Klesta questioned why it <br />?
