5/14/24 Onyx Bridge 169 and Cascade Annex East 160 Suite Water Intrusion Notification

Posted on by jepeters

Hi All,

On May 14, 2024, a faulty cooling coil resulted in a flood that impacted finishes in Onyx Bridge room 169 and the Cascade Annex East 160 Suite. Impacts were substantial. Fortunately, CPFM was able to triage and clean up standing water expeditiously, so we should be able to dry finishes in place with minimal impact. Users of the affected spaces should expect to see drying equipment starting as soon as tomorrow morning and being present with affected spaces for 1-2 weeks. Any necessary repairs will be made after drying has been confirmed to be complete. Drying equipment is noisy and can be disruptive. Please do not tamper with it, as that will prolong the drying process and may increase the likelihood that demolition may be necessary. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
