Wow, that's pretty bad. Prayers for all the displaced folks.
My SIL is good friends with the building inspector and just talked to him. Because of the Balloon Construction, all three buildings will be torn down. Without searching not sure what that means exactly------------------Ray
Balloon wall construction involves long studs reaching from floor plate to rafters encompassing more than one floor. A fire in the wall would spread quickly between floors with no cross piece to hinder the flames. Popular many years ago (my previous house was built that way, ca. 1924).
