Re: Visual Inspection of 48 Warren Street, New York, New York
#011056
Gentlemen:
The undersigned inspected the above-referenced premises on October 15, 2001, for
visible damage caused as a result of the September 11, 2001 collapse of the World Trade
Center, and reports as follows:
The premises are located on the north side of Warren Street, 150 east of West Broadway
in Manhattan. The lot is 25 feet wide and 100'-3" deep. The building is 5. stories above
the street and has a cellar and sub-cellar. Construction consists of brick walls and timber
joists supporting floors, generally spanning the full width of the building. There is
additional steel beam reinforcing below the first floor. There is a fire escape on the
building's facade, accessible from all floors above the street level, served by a
counterbalanced ladder at the second floor level.
Inspections were performed as follows:
South facade:
No damage was noted to existing brick and stucco facade, windows and fire escape,
except for a slight separation from the building to the west starting at the 4a' floor and
widening to 1" at the roof. There is also a crack in a cemented, ornate window head
above the eastern 5`h floor window. Both separation and crack predated September 11,
2001, according to the building management.
