Dear Marc:
At this point in time, we would anticipate that the units would be re-built from the shell of the unit (i.e. studs up) except for the three units at the North end of the block.
As we still do not have the scope of the work a month later, we would anticipate that the owners whose units were drastically affected will not be returning to their units for approximately a year.
This of course, is just estimation. You should speak to your insurance adjuster for confirmation of time-frames for similar situations.
If we can provide any further assistance please contact the undersigned.

Jennifer, now that all the owners have removed their contents and Belfor is tearing back the walls and flooring back to the studs, do we as of yet have an idea on whether the homes will be bulldozed and rebuilt from scratch or rebuilt from the shell that exists? Moreover, do we have any visibility as per the timeline that the rebuild will take? Tks

From Marc to all:
ReplyDeleteHi all, hope that you are coping and moving along well with your respective insurance companys. We are in the midst of negotiating the betterments portion of our insurance claim and we were wondering how your insurance company is labelling the items. We have provided a comprehensive list of which certain items are being rejected. Our list includes flooring upgrades, lighting, hardware (cabinet pulls and towel rods etc), faucets, air conditioning unit, designer paint etc. Can any of you comment on how your insurance company is monetizing the foregoing items? Is you insurance company merely giving you the differential between builder basic and the upgrade (ie. If regular pile carpet is deemed to cost $4000 and berber carpet is $6000 then we would only obtain the $2000 discounted for depreciation according to its age). Has anyone included appliances and the hot water tank as betterments?
In order to best be served by our insurance company, I would strongly suggest that we all get together asap and have some form of a meeting. Do we all agree that it would be worthwhile to share ideas and claim information? Moreover, it has been over a month since the peril and apolo management has not provided us with any updates. I would suggest that we have a condo meeting and ensure that Shelly Glover and Jennifer Jones be present. Let me know what you think. Can someone also please forward this email to Bonnie Cohen as I do not have her email.
From Nigel:
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
I am the owner of 223 Lyon. I am currently living in Brazil but am in Ottawa during the next week, and would very much appreciate the opportunity to meet with you ASAP, as I am certain all the other owners are as well. Please advise on a potential date.
Thank you.

From Marc:
ReplyDeleteJennifer, it has been over a month since the peril. I suggest we all convene as owners to obtain an official update with you and Shelley in attendance. Please advise if we can do this over next week or so.
From Jennifer:
ReplyDeleteDear Marc:
We are currently working on scheduling a meeting of the owners for the third week of August. Further details will follow.
Please note that at this point, the scope of work for the re-construction is being completed. Please note that it is unlikely that the entire building will be torn down. There will likely be a reconstruction of the units. Of course, none of this is one hundred percent definite until the full scope of work is completed.
If you have any questions please contact the undersigned.
