RE: responsibility to retrofit existing structure during renovation

Thanks Barry,

Feel free to answer without one or more of the conditions I stated if you think that is a more interesting case. I get a lot of those situations too.

This just seems to be the most restrictive case and I’m wondering what my liability might be if say a roof blows off and it is discovered that the building was recently renovated and the engineer didn’t specify any retrofit even though it might have been easily done.
