SUMMARY <br />The original portion of the facility was constructed in 1922; additions were constructed in 1936 and <br />19 51. The building is generally 3 stories in height with masonry walls, wood roof deck and <br />multiple ply built -up roof membrane. Remedial roofing was performed in 1979. <br />The roof exhibits general deterioration e.g. erosion, alligatoring of exposed surfaces, baseflashing <br />slippage, open laps at flashings, and cracking. Additionally, non - destructive testing revealed the <br />presence of moisture within the system. Consideration should be given to complete removal and <br />replacement of the existing roof system within the near future. <br />Additionally, the chimney at the library areas of the facility should be addressed as a part of any <br />rework due to the extent of deterioration. Also, the cornice around the facility is in need of repair <br />and repainting. Consideration should also be given to selective tuckpointing and application of <br />water repellent to all exterior walls. <br />9 <br />
