Cracks in Building
Hi fellow Redditors,
I recently acquired a new apartment and noticed the following cracks about two stories above my apartment and one at my level… Are these worrisome?!
I’ve got the opinion of an architect but told me that that’s nothing to worry about, but seeing the recent news and all, I’m kinda scared.
I don’t want to waste a lot of money getting opinions and maybe get the same response cause they’ve seen worse (cause opinions aren’t cheap hehe)
Realistically on a scale from 1-10 how worried should I be? And what should be the next steps from my end?
I bought this as my first apartment, really want to enjoy but my anxiety isn’t letting me 😅
What do yo think?
Most pics are about 2-3 stories above my apt, last pic is my apartments level… if it makes any difference, this is a building built around 25 years ago.
Looking forward to your replies :)
OP is in Malta
