The demolition of the Coney Island bank building at the hands of Thor Equities began in September, after the unsuccessful attempt by preservationists to get the building landmarked. Amusing the Zillion is reporting that things aren’t going so swell and the site’s been hit with a full stop work order. According to the DOB profile, there was no construction fence provided for the protection of falling debris and it was hitting the neighboring properties. Reports ATZ: “Our source said a wall coming down belongs to the adjacent property owner who must pay to build a new wall before work can proceed. There’s talk of a court order to force compliance. Who knows how long this will drag on?”

Again, what a complete waste. Disgusting.
Typical of these big developers. Full speed ahead with no attention to safety unless forced. And yet the city kisses their butts. Ratner did the same thing when taking down the Wards bakery building. Someone tell me again how much of a sh*t these developers give about the communities they are in? I say zero.
