Brickwork's expensive, even when a hideously ugly job is done. I would guess it may have something to do with Local Law 11 (facade inspection and maintainance) and not only with crapification.
I would hope, but don't expect, that they salvage that beautiful cornice work.
Where is the masonry bonding as required by the NYC building code. At some point in the not to distant future that brick job is going to pull off and maybe land on some one or something. Stainless steel masonry anchors should have been installed every 24" on center vertically and horizontally.
I'm guesssing the building's owner technically owns that section of sidewalk behind the fence as well? I wouldn't count out some kind of hideous wall blocking it off.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
