Sprinkler-Line Rupture Triggers $400K Rebuild at Reserve Square Apartments
A ruptured sprinkler line flooded sections of Reserve Square Apartments, the downtown Cleveland mixed-use tower, prompting a $400,000 interior reconstruction permit covering drywall, ceiling tiles, and hallway flooring across the affected areas.
Reserve Apartments, Ltd. filed a $400,000 permit on April 14 to rebuild interior finishes at Reserve Square after a sprinkler line ruptured and flooded parts of the building.
Reserve Square is the 1970s mixed-use tower on East 12th Street in downtown Cleveland, with more than 450 residential units plus ground-floor retail and office space. Per the permit filing, mitigation crews had already removed water-damaged materials — cutting drywall approximately two feet above the finished floor throughout the affected zones and stripping out flooring.
The contracted reconstruction work covers reinstallation of drywall to match existing wall thickness, finish-grade taping and sealing ready for paint, replacement of ceiling tiles in hallway areas, and new hallway carpet with matching base. No structural modifications are in scope.
The filing suggests the flooding was significant — $400,000 of finish work is a full-building-floor scale of damage — and that mitigation happened quickly enough to avoid a larger structural hit. The permit is Ward 5; parcel 102.
