HELP - Are Structural Changes Damaging the Building? - HELP

This building has had at least two places with major structural changes with walls punched out for large windows.  Was this approved in the original engineering plans for such a change to be made?  What effect has this had on the building?  Were computer or scale models done by engineering firms to test for possible problems?

Now there is a proposal to bore a holes in basement 1 through the foundation wall for cars and the ground floor into the new building next door.  What damage will this do to the building as a whole?  Where are all the engineering opinions from the government?

Here is a quote from the Master Deed.
Section 3

"b) Nothing shall be done or placed in any Unit or in the common and limited common areas which would jeopardize the safety or impair the structural strength of the building.  Nor shall any alteration, change or modification of the architectural character of the building be made without the written consent of the Condominium Corporation and of the Unit owners directly affected by said work, if any;"

Has someone or entities violated the Master Deed?  Should lawyers be called?

In the previous post, mention was made that HLURB did not have a 2nd amendment to the Master Deed that supposedly approved this without buyers and now Unit Owners who are members of the Soho Central Condominium Corporation (SCCC) being made aware of the possible structural changes.  Why is this even being considered in a private & secret meeting without Unit Owners being able to witness?

Everyone look at the cracks in the walls in the stairwells!  Everyone look at the cracks in the walls at the connection area in the hallways between Shaw and Mayflower towers near the elevators!  Do the cracks at the place where the towers connect show a problem with towers moving independently? 

How many more cracks with more wall removed?

Where is the current Occupancy Permit?

Were and are the By-Laws being followed for a special meeting of the Board?  Why is the venue and time not known?  The required 5 days notice is clearly stated.  Do any of the SCCC documents mean anything?  Or, are they just pieces of paper ignored except when convenient?

Do these insurance companies covering the building know about the changes made and the possible changes?  Also, will the premiums change?  Have all permits/certificates been shown to the insurance companies?  Has any Unit Owner called to check?
