In Hot Water

      We are pleased to announce completion of roof top boiler repairs at a mid-rise community in Playa Vista. Due to substandard workmanship during original construction the boiler pipes began to leak water onto the roof top, throughout the hallways, inside homes, and even into the subterranean parking structure. Our investigation discovered other deficiencies such as incorrect hot water circulating pump that Orange Coast also replaced concurrently with the boiler re-piping. After the roof top re-pipe and related repairs were complete OCBS seamlessly patched back drywall and stucco that was damaged by the leaks. OCBS orchestrated this process that minimized disruptions to the homeowners while allowing attorney and expert access since the property is in litigation. Our findings will aid in the recovery of costs incurred prematurely by this association. The earlier OCBS is involved the greater the opportunity you have to reduce or recover costs.
