Baltimore, MD – [September 26, 2024] – Axel Brewers Hill has announced that the recent pool leak incident from earlier this month did not cause any structural damage to the building. Following the event, Axel Brewers Hill worked swiftly with structural engineers, the pool company, the Baltimore City Fire Department, and local inspectors to assess the cause, impact, and appropriate remedies. Thanks to the superior quality of the building's structure and the pool vault, which performed flawlessly, there are no lasting effects from the incident.

Nicholas J. Palumbo, P.E., Sr. Project Manager at Building Envelope Consultants & Scientists (BECS), confirmed, “Although the pool shell had been lifted from its original position, both BECS and the Structural Engineer of Record found no visible signs of damage to the primary structure where accessible. BECS has concluded that the pool failure did not impact the integrity of the primary building structure, and the building remains safe for occupancy.”

Ami Notis, Vice President of Excelsior Communities, the parent company of Axel Brewers Hill, commented, “We are committed to restoring everything as quickly and safely as possible. We understand how disruptive this has been for our residents, and we are working diligently to ensure that they can continue to enjoy all that life at Axel Brewers Hill has to offer. While the pool will need to be replaced, we are actively working on a plan and will keep our residents updated on progress.”

Residents have expressed their gratitude for the swift and professional response. One resident, who has lived at Axel for 2 years, shared, “We just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the incredible organization and professionalism you all displayed. You kept us informed and took action seamlessly. Thank you so much! So happy to be living in a community with the best management team ever!”

Axel Brewers Hill remains dedicated to keeping residents informed throughout the process and ensuring transparency. The team is currently working on plans for a new pool and will communicate updates as they become available, with safety and quality as top priorities.
