Cracking is primarily occurring at the horizontal beams and occasionally along the face of the stair runs. Significant cracking is present at the beam-to-column connection supporting the second-floor landing. Cracks are likely due to moisture penetration and possible foundation settlement. Spalling and staining is present primarily at the beam-to-column connection and at each guardrail bracket connection most likely due to water penetration.
