Building's condition <br />45 <br />You might wonder in <br />some cases whether <br />is safe or not to walk <br />into the building. Here <br />is a list of things you <br />should be aware of: <br />- If a building shows <br />severe leaning, deep <br />cracks, or missing roof <br />sections, do not enter, <br />consult a structural <br />engineer first. <br />- Never enter alone, <br />always wear a hard hat, <br />protective gloves, and <br />a mask. <br />- Do not remove <br />damaged masonry <br />immediately. <br />- Inspect for water <br />damage, as wet <br />masonry and wood <br />becomes unstable and <br />can deteriorate faster. <br />- Avoid loose cornices, <br />overhangs, and <br />deteriorated beams <br />that may collapse. <br />- Avoid loose cornices, <br />overhangs, and <br />deteriorated beams <br />that may collapse. <br />Photos courtesy of Charity Stowe <br />Is it safe to get in?
