It's in a basement suite, a 6x6" post on 10" round footing, supporting a triple 12" that originally bore(?) the load along a 15.5' span. A closet was built 4' in and the load was picked up with a double 2x6 on a 2x4 bottom plate on slab. Now the post is bearing the load of an 11.5' span.

I realize the support from the closet might not really be sufficient since it's on slab.

I guess I need a structural engineer to come in and tell me if I can remove the post or not? Or is it a definate NO? Suggestions? Need more info?
