Guess the developer and the contractor are still reeling from the debilitating penalties b#$%job slap on the wrist they must have gotten for jettisoning asbestos into the air for all the neighbors to breath. Yesterday, they were up to their old tricks, proceeding with mechanical demolition without, you guessed it, permits for mechanical demolition.
