I would still like to see someone set up a time lapse of the area now to see where the water is seeping in at.
Also I would be interested to know exactly if the surrounding buildings ever experience water intrusion the likes of which Champlain South experienced.

A little. I grew up on the barrier island of Wildwood in New Jersey. I am in the insurance and Real Estate business and have insured, inspected, built and sold many condominium, hotel, motel, single family home projects on the island. I have clients up and down the New Jersey coast.
I specialize in loss mitigation and risk assement for Coastal Hotel, Motel, and Condominiums. My business is called Coastline Insurance Agency. Feel free to look it up.
Granted I do not have all the information in front of me those investigating do, I am only by my experinece and the same information availalbe to you and everyone else on the internet. I have been wrong on occasion.
If you look at what we know ground water infiltrating the garage doesn't cause water damage to unit 611 or cause water to pool in front of unit 111 on the pool deck, everything is stacking.
If we put cameras on the location you will see depending on the water table. More water in the area if the tide is high, less when the tide is low. Higher levels after a storm when the water table is higher. If I remeber correctly the building is about 400' from the mean high tide line and 4' above sea level. The garage is below grade. Assuming only an 12' ceiling that means the slab is 8' below sea level.
Again, every other building on that Island is subject to the same hydrostaic pressures as this building. I started in my second post to you regarding the other buildings but deleted it as I though the post was getting to lengthy and stayed just on this property. They may or may not have the same issues depending on age, maintenance, etc.
I don't need to make videos these guys alread made them.
