A little illegal Sunday afternoon asbestos removal with your morning coffee courtesy of Knockout Construction? How ’bout some night-time footage of a worker with no protective gear smashing a chimney by light of a generator, all with no sheds or barriers to stop debris from raining down on the street and neighboring yards?

Incompetence and cronyism can only explain so much.
