A long overdue demolition

"This house has been abandoned for years. (I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and residents tell me that they’ve been complaining about this eyesore for more than double that.)

Recently I grew concerned because contractor trash and debris began to pile up inside and around the house (and inevitably in the water behind it where both of these photos are taken from)… Imagine my surprise this past Monday morning when I noticed it was gone! Demo permit was issued 1/7 it looks like from DOB website. The fence went up yesterday…

From DOB violation:

BUILDING DWELLING IS ROTTED & DEFECTIVE-PARTIAL INTERNAL COLLAPSE AT REAR/ADJORNING WATERWY. DEC MUST BE CONTRACTORS." - anonymous
