Sagging brownstone
Found a brownstone I love, but it has some sagging on the ground and parlour floor that affect the stairwell a bit. Is having an engineer come in for a look even worth it, or should I keep looking?
Comments
sure it is worth it...the old notched headers are failing, and the entire problem can be remediated by shoring up the basement beams..or everything is failing due to termites

After 80 - 100 years you'll be saging too!
Have it checked out -
Let the engineer tell you if its fixable/liveable or not!

If that's the only thing wrong with it, its probably very fixable. Beam repair seems to be not too hard or costly. Same for stair repair or replacement.
