work being done next door

The building next to mine is being fully renovated – I think it’s been fully gutted. The’ve been working on it for the past 6 months and as you can imagine it’s been very unpleasant: noise, dust, construction debris.

I got so mad that I decided to check whether or not they have permits for the work. In the DoB site I found they have a permit to renovate the basement apartment! No mention of the other 3 floors.

Is it common for people to file for one thing and then do a lot more? This doesn’t sound right to me. What do you think?

Thanks
