After the flurry of initial demolition activity at the end of April (which included the unplanned collapse of the parapet at Ward’s Bakery), there’s been little to report on that front. We happened to drive by the corner of Flatbush and Pacific this weekend and noticed that several buildings are now completely razed; we also noticed that there is now a full scaffolding up at Ward’s Bakery, which suggests that the wrecking ball can’t be too far behind. Anyone heard anything about the demo resuming?

Update: According to a ESDC memo we were forwarded, the scaffolding installation at Ward’s Bakery will be completed this week; in addition, “double-shift abatement and emergency demolition work” will start on the parapets and is expected to last about six weeks.
