White Tab 001 — Master Timeline (Facts-Only)

GUARDRAIL: WHITE — FACT REPOSITORY ONLY

Facts & source pinpoints only. No strategy, no argument, no legal opinions. All quotations are "as reported" unless exact text appears in a cited source.


PART A — Scope & Use (facts-only)

Chronological index of key events for 226 Franklin St., Apt. G21 (entrance 97 Green St.), Brooklyn, NY 11222. Each entry cites the controlling White tab and includes Bates/page pinpoints where available, or "(PDF p. TBD)" with a Task ID for follow-up. This document integrates the Scope Manipulation Evidence Arc details from WT-114, enhancing entries for the court-ordered scope, field instruction divergence, PRV certification, and professional audit findings.

v2.4 Note: July 2023 events are indexed in chronological order of discovery/occurrence: B.4.1 rainstorm re-flood discovery (07-12), B.4.2 SERVPRO valve break (07-13), B.4.3 visible mold documentation window (07-12 to 07-17). See WT-116 v1.2 for detailed breakdown.

v2.4.4 Note: Re-flood entry date corrected from "~2019-10-25 → ~2019-10-31" to "~2019-12-08" per WT-116 v1.7. Source: FLOOD-EMAIL-078 (Jun 18, 2020) explicitly states "second flood on December 8th." Description updated with exhaust vent mechanism detail.


PART B — Master Timeline (chronological)

Legend: Src = White source tab(s). Pin = PDF page pinpoints (or "TBD" + task). Bates/Notes = production ranges or mechanical notes.

Dates are ISO unless the exact day is unknown (then "~" or "mid/late" is used).

  • B.1 vs B.2: Explicit different-day sequencing affirmed; adjuster walk-through is mid/late Dec 2019, not Dec 11.
  • Participants: Alex Morales removed from B.2; possible at B.3 only (to be established). TR representative at B.1 is recorded as Roussis and/or Rivera (to be established).
  • B.3 phrasing: "Post-claim-approval (as reported)" replaces prior "post-payment"; disbursement timing unknown (to be determined via discovery).
  • Naming canon: Total Restoration, Inc. used consistently.
  • Chain G: Environmental sequence remains fully threaded.
  • Scope Manipulation Arc: Six-phase evidence sequence (Promise → Betrayal → False Certification → Professional Audit → Admission → Consequence) documented with source citations per WT-114.
  • Property insurance source: Feb 2020 approval documented via WT-104 (B.3), not WT-103 (which covers CGL declination only).
  • July 2023 event separation (v2.4 corrected chronology): Three distinct events now documented in chronological order per WT-116 v1.2:
  • B.4.1: Rainstorm re-flood discovery (2023-07-12) — uncapped pipes + ceiling leak → WT-116
  • B.4.2: SERVPRO valve break (2023-07-13) — SERVPRO field incident → WT-106A
  • B.4.3: Visible mold documentation window (2023-07-12 to 07-17) — consequence evidence → WT-116/WT-111
