According the Development Plan, transit sheds in the Project Area, interfere with the wharf operation and potential for installation of wider gauge cranes because the distance between the transit shed and the wharf is in adequate for installing larger cranes. Also, the Development Plan cites that there are many buildings on Fyffe that are not suitable for industrial use, and are of no benefit the Port operations. Deterioration and Dilapidation A building is considered unsafe and unhealthy when the physical condition of the structure is so severe that it could cause bodily harm to those near or within the structure. Such deterioration and dilapidation is caused by lack of maintenance, damage, and aging. Such dilapidation and deterioration is caused by long-term deferred maintenance of aging buildings and the resulting structural damage. For example, if exterior surfaces are not properly maintained to remove wood dry rot, or repaired to correct cracked or missing siding or stucco, the interior framing and foundation are exposed to the elements, weakening the structural integrity of the building. Deteriorated roofing materials can result in water damage to rafters, framing, and interior wiring. Deteriorated or damaged wiring in particular presents a significant fire risk. Deteriorated exterior paint was also noted as an unsafe condition because lead-based and asbestos paint are considered hazardous if peeling. The survey conducted by Naval Engineers in 1994 identifies a number of deficiencies in the Project Area that are caused by lack of maintenance, damage, and aging. According to Port officials and as independently verified by RSG field surveys, all of these structural deficiencies persist today. The following are some of the more serious conditions identified by the Naval Engineers staff during the survey: Deteriorated Paint: The interior of buildings contains lead-based paint. Lead-based paints are hazardous especially if peeling. Heating Systems: The deterioration is so severe that repairs are uneconomical and replacement is required. Inoperative heating system creates unhealthy conditions for people living or working in the buildings. Wet Pipe Sprinkler Fire Protection System: Generally operable throughout individual buildings, however, water supply capacity from external sources is questionable. As a result, the buildings are at a greater fire hazard risk. Floors: Cracks were noted and required repair. Exterior walls and windows: Various buildings suffer damages as result of forklift and cargo impact. These impacts damage the integrity of the structure. ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.
