Gap between floor and molding.
There's a sizable gap between the bottom of the molding and the floor near the party wall of my brownstone - around 1 1/8".
I don't think it's anything structural - it's an aesthetic & insulation thing.
What would be the remedy for this?

Easiest professional remedy, Install a new shoe molding
( molding which sits on floor at bottom of baseboard )and which will follow the contour of the floor.
Other more expensive option - scribe new baseboard to uneven floor.
Or you could simply caulk the gap if it is no bigger than 1/8''
Or if you feel you need someone to fix it for you, you can call Matt Gannon 347 417 4500.

OP: I thought most shoe moldings only come in 1".
This is 1 1/8" (1.125") at the largest point and tapers down to nothing in other places.

What makes you think that is nothing structural. That is a pretty wide gap and one that has formed over time.
