However, such language about 'safety of the residents' is not present in his report. The NPR article was just simplifying. True, the original report didn't use those exact 3 words - but what it did say: Failure to replace the waterproofing in the near future will cause the extent of the concrete deterioration to expand exponentially. Is quite damning, and essentially in line with the simplified version given in the NPR article. And in any case directly at odds by the town's building official: "Structural engineer report was reviewed by Mr. Prieto. It appears the building is in very good shape." Which may explain why Mr Prieto is "no longer employed by Surfside".
