No. He was always going on about how houses were going to fall down.

I only vaguely remember that. I remember there was someone who always ranted that woodframe “tinderboxes” had no value, were going to burn down, and shouldn’t be discussed on brownstoner because they weren’t brownstones, but that was very early on. You can imagine I took some umbrage.

Ah, yes. A likely candidate.

Question on Underpinning: an architect told me he understands underpinning to be a slow effect on a building crack appear, subtle. My worry is the underpinning ended in early Feb – so by the time they start Phase 2 of the project (Phase 1 was the adjacent apartment and underpinning) things will fall apart in my house when they start working on there’s. Does this make sense, agree/disagree? Thanks.

So if they start removing flooring / sheetrock in there house – it will effect my house.

underpinning should make your house more stable, not less. Them removing sheetrock will only effect your house if it is unstable in some way.

I’m sure the landlord doing the illegal job was in no way trying to benefit my house. When I referenced underpinning – he immediately said demolition. I mean them removing and replacing sheetrock and flooring could adversely effect my house.

when I referenced underpinning to an atty – he said demolition.

How do you know his job is illegal?

Seems like a call to the DOB will solve this problem for you. Why have you not done that yet?

If this is such a concern and stress for you, why not take documentary evidence (write it down if it’s too late to video or record), and consult with an attorney? The message forum here is skeptical, in part because of the way you’re presenting this (panicked and with completely fragmented information).

Soundhoner offers very good advise. I, for one, would LIKE to be able take your problem seriously, but you haven’t made it easy.
