When you look up at a balcony covered by aluminum louvers, does it occur to you that a slat could come loose at any moment and fall on someone's head?
In a new building in Jerusalem that our engineer inspected, wide aluminum slats from the service rooms of the upper apartments had come loose, plunged, and fallen down.
The slats landed in the yard of the garden apartment below. This is a serious safety defect that makes the garden unusable.
The repair: reinforce all the aluminum slats in the building with suitable brackets and bolts.
Cost of the repair: about ₪10,000.
