Hopefully, later this week, or early next, there will be a meeting to finalize the repair plan for the walkways, stairwells and balconies. The results of the meeting will be posted here.
The problems are as follows (Left click on the pics for full screen view):
1. Dark stains in various sizes: The stains vary from a light gray to black, and seem to be below the surface finish. They can't be remove without damaging the surface finish. The stains are present on every floor & stairwell.
2. Deterioration of the caulking where the walkway meets the wall: The caulking never really harden. It remained sticky & soft, and as a result dirt stuck to it. Now, in many places, the caulking is covered over with dirt, and has turned black. At some point, an attempt was made to paint over the caulking. Now, in places, the painted caulking has cracked and blistered.
