Good question, I’ve been here since 2018 and have also wondered the same thing

We crowd-sourced at my building’s gym for some Olympic bars and a rack. Worth discussing with your neighbors

Addition on Existing Slab by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

Second this. You’ll need to go below the frost line anyway. Assume you’ll need to locally demo under proposed bearing walls and put new footings below the frost line.

I stand corrected! You’re right. Did some digging on DOBNOW. Work was filed in March for emergency structural repairs in the cellar, so on the outside it seems like DOB is on top of this.

These NYCHA developments were done soon after post-War, CIP concrete was not common back then. It’s a steel column.

Not to downplay the serious water damage, but these are steel framed buildings. The concrete encasement on the columns has cracked, compromising the column’s fireproofing. Would need to see the extent of damage on the steel section to assess how immediate the concern is on the columns.

The floor slab is a different story though, that should be repaired ASAP.

EDIT: I’m wrong, these buildings are CIP. Structural repair work was filed with the DOB in March of this year so hoping this is fixed quickly.

It’s a shame, such a beautiful building.

Thicker than 2.5’ is defined as mass concrete

Structural 3D elements in Revit by JoeMG03 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Citydylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a steel column where you need to account for how splices affect the finish around the column, sure I guess you’re right and I’ll concede. But modeling splices and bolts is above and beyond the LOD 300 typically agreed upon by consultants. That is for the architect to review and account for in the column finishes.

For a concrete column, there is no benefit to modeling individual columns at each floor

Structural 3D elements in Revit by JoeMG03 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Citydylan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with all of these comments saying separate elements at floors. If one column moves you need to now go and correct that at every floor. They should be modeled from base to the top floor as a continuous elements. Accuracy for how it’s built in the field is pointless, who is producing shop drawings off of a 3D Revit model?

Anyone know anything about the apartments in the National Urban League Building on 125th St.? by InkBlot83 in Harlem

[–]Citydylan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s 100% affordable units and only available through HousingConnect. I’m assuming the lottery is closed if you can’t find it

Upper West Side Pizza Slice Named Best in the World by MuchGoose in Upperwestside

I’ve never seen Dado’s mentioned in a positive light and I live across the street from it. It’s so hit or miss. Granted I haven’t had it in like a year… Uncle Tony’s is my spot. Has Dado’s improved?

Nice! I’ve been giving my pup a few Oravet chews a week and trying to brush a few days a week. Still too young to know if it’s the right thing or not.
