Sacramento Apartment Stairway Sinking - This Needs To Be Addressed

One of the dangers in apartment construction is dry rot, sometimes it just happens over the years. This Sacramento stairway was found to be sinking quite a bit. The steps were originally at 6 ¾” each, this first step is now at 2”.

Why is it sinking? The wood has rotted and is no longer structurally sound, and is in need of repair.

The stairway is 14 feet in the air, this should be corrected right away.
