Concrete Restoration

The building in the video below is not La Bonne Vie.   They delayed concrete restoration for years and the rebar (metal rods in concrete) continued to rust and the damage traveled inside most of the condos.  When the board finally voted to make repairs, they had to jack-hammer up the concrete and floors 1-2 feet INSIDE most of the condos to repair the rebar.   A plywood wall was built inside the condo and remained in place for months (during hurricane season).

In the video you can see all the individual AC units on the roof.  La Bonne Vie has a cooling tower that the condo association maintains.  AC units will rust out fast next to the ocean and a crane is the only way to get them to the roof.

TURN UP THE VOLUME



La Bonne Vie was built in 1967 and concrete restoration and a new roof were completed in 2009.   In April 2020, La Bonne Vie completed minor concrete repairs.  La Bonne Vie does an excellent job keeping this building maintained (unlike the building in the video).
