Commercial Scott Schedule
1. Executive Summary & Legal Framework
A dilapidations audit was commissioned by the landlord to assess lease-end reinstatement liabilities, repair schedules, and MEP reinstatement costs for the commercial suite in Manhattan.
The audit is compiled in accordance with the RICS Dilapidations Protocol, outlining tenant breaches of lease covenants regarding repair, decoration, and reinstatement of alterations. The tenant had modified the interior envelope by erecting partition walls, modifying ceiling grids, and altering structural concrete cabling. These must be reinstated to a "white-box" standard as per lease clauses 4.2 and 4.3.
2. Itemized Scott Schedule & Estimated Liabilities
The cost scheduling outlines itemized reinstatement, repair, and decoration estimates to return the property to standard commercial leasing condition.

3. Charters & Covenants Audit Notes
The building fabric shows standard wear-and-tear exceptions except for the structural slab core drilling on Level 42 which sat outside landlord permissions. Concrete scanner analysis shows no structural reinforcement severed during drilling, but grout-fill repair is mandatory under building safety codes.
