As you might have noticed, the new East Beach Marina Apartment complex construction has started (South of Pretty Lake Ave near 30th Bay St). Of potential interest is the fact that this construction will include the placement of at least 150 concrete pilings — each being 80 foot long. These pilings will be pounded into place to support the interior garage and may produce potentially damaging impacts on homes nearby. If your home is near the construction site, you might want to take some before pictures of your home so that if damages do occur you will have evidence of your home’s condition prior to the pilings installation.
FYI: It should be noted that the recent pilings installation at the corner of 29th Bay St and Pretty Lake Ave did cause some minor damages to homes in our community, but the prior home conditions of these homes were not documented so validation of the pilings installation damages would be difficult to prove.
