The job seemed routine — until the contractors came up with sand where there should have been concrete.
Called the Village House, this 14-story condominium was built in 1967 on an elegant block in Greenwich Village. It is a full-service doorman building with a live-in superintendent, a bike room, storage space, a laundry room, and a courtyard.
But the building had a history of leaks around the two terrace spaces, which sit on setbacks that wrap around the 12th and penthouse floors of the 75-unit red brick building at 60 West 13th Street. The terrace areas had deteriorated and water was leaking into the units, reports longtime board president Carol Butler. The board turned to RAND Engineering & Architecture, which had worked on the building previously, with jobs that included brick replacement, pointing, and waterproofing work.
