Post-Sandy Building Assessments

In the weeks following Super Storm Sandy the office of Staten Island Borough President requested assistance from the firm vengoechea + boyland architecture/urban planning, LLP to participate in a unique program designed to deliver professional guidance to hurricane affected homeowners. The program, titled SIQuikStart, engaged the architects to perform non-invasive assessments of the general physical condition of storm-damaged premises and advise on the process to recovery and reconstruction.  The assessment reports produced were intended to serve as a an initial conditions assessment and preliminary project forecast and Agency filing evaluation, to help homeowners identify the rules which are currently in place, and to assist in understanding the potential steps necessary to restore, repair, rebuild and/or reconstruct the subject, damaged property.
