IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ORIOLE GARDENS III HOMEOWNERS: The Soffit at building 70 in the front of units 201 and 202 collapsed on Saturday morning at 11:30 am without warning. There was no visible indication that a support failure was about to occur.
The Margate fire and rescue responded quickly and removed the remaining soffit debris from the scene and cleared the debris from the doorways of 201 and 202.
The failure was due to the support nails that help keep the soffit in place, they were rusted and the nail heads broke away under the weaken state. At this time there is no indication that the issue is widespread and there will be further inspections of the buildings for structural integrity of the soffits.

Going forward there will be a meeting this Thursday, Dec. 5th with a structural engineer to discuss the damage and repair to building 70. Once a plan is in place, a permit will be required to proceed with the repairs. The association will request three bids to complete such repairs.
The outside door on unit 201 will also be replaced by the association due to the damage from the falling soffit.

Please be assured that we as a homeowners association take this matter very seriously and will follow through on any recommendations by the structural engineer to assure the safety of our OGIII residents. We are very fortunate that there were no injuries that could have occurred during this unexpected collapse.

Respectfully,

OGIII Executive Board.
