More than seven weeks after a second-story floor ripped away from a wall at Boulder office building where nearly 300 people worked every day, building officials have issued no citations in the incident, nor have they determined what caused the partial collapse.
Dave Thacker, chief building officer for Boulder, said the city is waiting for a forensic engineering report to be completed before determining what if any citations might be issued and what corrective actions might need to be taken. In the meantime, it has issued permits to allow for initial inspections, creation of a “safe passage” for construction workers, the shoring of the building’s foundation and the floor’s repair.
The building at 4772 Walnut St. is one of several in an office park built in 1999 by Boulder-based Wyatt Construction, for a subsidiary of Boulder-based W.W. Reynolds Co., which also developed the office park, according to city records.
Neither Bill Reynolds nor Jeff Wingert, a development manager with W.W. Reynolds, returned requests for comments. W.W. Reynolds no longer owns the building, but continues to manage it. Seattle-based Tierra LLC, which owns the building, also did not return requests for comment.
