Reply to Structural engineers... is this bad? by usom
structural engineer here:
Sloping columns put some extra loads on the floors, so as long as these loads are taken into account when designing, there is no issue.
This incline is big enough that it should have been noticed during construction. The fact that they built over a dozen floors above it means it's intentional.

In part because it's reddit, in part because of the ridiculously slow progress.

It does mean that underground utilities (electric conduits, piping, etc) have been put in. Not a lot, but not nothing

Ask and you shall receive.
Still at least 6 months away, assuming everything goes smoothly from now on.

It has been dirt for at least a year with some rebar sticking out of the foundation (which is normal), and was like a month ago last I looked.
The waterproofing (plastic) and rebar is definitely new.

Photo is from Wednesday evening, but I just saw 2 guys laying out that rebar. If 2 lathers (rebar workers) is the regular crew then concrete won't be poured until next year. Could be that the weather and/or holiday has kept some of the workers home. But it's no longer just a plain dirt floor!

Right you are. My mistake.

If the main entrance is level (i.e. doesn't have a step) then the ground floor will almost certainly be ADA compliant. Some elements will be grandfathered in, such as old front doors, but everything inside that had to be built when that restaurant/bar moved in (bar, bathroom, partitions) will need to be compliant, including bathrooms and turn radii. If the restaurant is over 30 years old then there's a good chance that most things will probably be grandfathered in and non-compliant.
(not an architect, just work with a bunch of them)
I second Pet Shop. I also like Porta, Mathew's, Wurstbar

Love that place!
My recommendation is to try to get in before dinner. If you get in, great: Pre-dinner drinks! Otherwise you put your name down and then go get dinner.
