Forest Hills Queens Residential Roof Replacement
Building Overview
This property is a residential building located in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, a well-established residential area characterized by mid-rise apartment buildings, tree-lined streets, and strong neighborhood amenities. The building occupies a typical urban lot within a residential zoning district and is used exclusively for residential occupancy, consistent with surrounding development patterns in Forest Hills. The building is capped by a flat roof assembly, incorporating a membrane roofing system, perimeter parapets, and rooftop appurtenances commonly found on residential buildings of this type. The structure is of reinforced concrete and steel construction, with concrete floor slabs supported by a structural frame designed for residential loading conditions. The exterior building envelope consists primarily of masonry façade systems with glazed window assemblies, typical of residential apartment buildings in this area of Queens.
Project Scope
Serving as Engineer of Record, EOC directed the planning and delivery of a capital improvement project centered on the full replacement of the building’s roof system. The scope began with a detailed evaluation of existing roof conditions, which informed the development of comprehensive construction drawings and bid documents aligned with the building’s long-term maintenance and asset preservation objectives. Throughout construction, EOC provided ongoing engineering oversight and performed regular site observations to confirm proper installation and adherence to the approved design. This hands-on approach ensured that the completed roofing system achieved long-term watertight performance and durability, supporting the continued protection and value of the property.
