Dozens of people were evacuated last night from an unstable Harlem building with a history of violations, authorities said.TENANTS FLEE WOBBLY BUILDING IN HARLEM
The DOB said it never gave the owners a demolition permit, and issued a stop-work order because the work being done extended beyond what was allowed by the permit that was issued.

they were doing DEMOLITION WHILE TENANTS WERE LIVING THERE!!!
And how many previous complaints from tenants
did DOB ignore before conditions
eventually reached this dangerous point ?
The inept/crooked DOB is the working arm
of NYCs' owners/developers.
Looking the other way
while illegal work is in progress
is standard operational procedure.
Another technique
is to respond too late to complaints.....
long after demolition is complete.
Then they'll impose a fine that is viewed
merely as a cost of doing business by the developer.
(That being usually less than the cost
of a properly filed demolition permit).
