What are the most common structural issues found in NYC buildings?

Many New York City buildings, especially older properties, experience structural issues due to age, weather exposure, and deferred maintenance. Common problems include masonry deterioration, concrete spalling, steel corrosion, foundation settlement, water infiltration, façade damage, and cracks in walls or structural elements.
If left untreated, these issues can affect building safety, performance, and long-term value. Regular inspections can help identify problems early and prevent costly repairs.
