City: Cubs haven't given proof of repairs BY FRAN SPIELMAN, Chicago Sun Times, IL
The Chicago Sun-Times reported last month that the 2001 report on the structural integrity of Wrigley uncovered serious defects and recommended repair and replacement of pedestrian and bleacher ramps to avert a 'potentially hazardous condition' that could cause 'local failure.'
The Sun-Times also reported that a review of city building permits issued at Wrigley over the past three years showed no evidence that the Cubs had made those repairs.
Cubs President Andy MacPhail responded by insisting the Cubs had spent 'millions' of dollars on maintenance and repairs since then, with ramps as a primary focus because of what Osborn Engineering called 'concrete deterioration' caused by the 'corrosion of reinforcing steel due to chloride infiltration.'
The team was 'under the operating assumption that, for repair work, permits are not required,' MacPhail said.
Mayor Daley ridiculed the Cubs. And Kaderbek demanded a list of repairs made without permits to verify MacPhail's claim, assess fines and determine if the work was done according to the building code.------------------------------------------- posted 6:30 AM :: reference link ::
