NY 10021-4102 Re: Pre-Construction Condition Survey 12 East 72nd Street Block 1386, Lot 62 New York, NY Dinan No. 4009 Dear Sir or Madam: We, as Consultants for Bella Builders Associates, LLC, the Sponsor, for the above project, in accordance with the New York Building Code, respectfully request permission to make a detailed visual examination of your building known as 9 East 71" Street, New York, NY. The purpose of this examination is to determine and document the current physical condition of your building prior to commencement of construction on the neighboring parcel. While we do not anticipate any disturbance to your building, we believe a pre-construction inspection is a prudent idea in order to establish its condition. We would like to conduct a complete examination of the property including a full interior and exterior inspection. If access to your building is denied, we will be unable to establish the condition of your building and no responsibility can be taken, as its pre-existing condition will be unknown. Please call the office to schedule an appointment as soon as possible or sign this letter below and return it to us via fax or mail and let us know when you are available to meet with us. Upon completion of our inspection and subsequent to actual report preparation and finalization, one copy of our report will be sent to you without cost. Respectfully submitted, JOHN V.
