      ​@@kqa2893 The building has high end appliances and fixtures that might have good resale value. The homeowner's association should hire a salvage service to remove everything of value while the elevators are still working. Once the building has been stripped clean of valuables, the HOA can hire a demolition contractor.

    The lawyers should go after the: architect of record, the city for lack of doing a comprehensive plan check; the SEOR; soils engineer of record who did a faulty soils report; the contractor of record who proceeded with construction knowing the soil was soft and he didn't send in a RFI to the architect asking is it permissible to built on soft soil. . The only winners will be the lawyers. The tenants should get out of this bldg b4 it collapses.

    Lift the foundation out of the water and make a solid foundation after pumping out the water and adding rock or cement or whatever. May need to start at the corners and edges of the property or building and the center or the cylinders. Its a scientific method to drain a swamp or drill a water well and pump it dry then fill it to specifications for a foundation for a specific weight and that can still be done in proportion so each section can firm correctly without weight upon it causing damage. The thing is you would probably have to invent it or find a firm to do it and sounds like they are saying it is normal settling. Sorry Mr, Montana.
