A detailed look at the existing roof
The October 21 inspection examined a layered roof assembly with a four-ply hot-asphalt built-up roof beneath a torch-applied cap sheet. The review also covered parapet flashings, curbs, hatches, skylights and rooftop services.
Open seams and loose flashing
The inspection found pronounced buckling and distortion in the roof field, open cap-sheet seams, separated curb flashing and lifted wall details. Earlier silicone and asphalt-mastic repairs were also visible around affected areas.
Replacement recommendations
The inspector recommended removing the existing roofing and replacing the roof system. The report identifies plumbing, HVAC and electrical coordination as part of planning that work, along with the roof’s hatch and skylight details.
The full inspection report
The report was issued October 22 and includes the executive summary, inspector notes, findings, corrective-work recommendations and all 181 numbered photographs.
