The wrecking ball cometh!
City officials have confirmed that the owner of a stalled construction site in Homecrest will finally raze the house that has caused neighbors headaches for nearly a decade.
“That is the best news I’ve heard in a long, long time,” said Betty Travitsky, who lives next to the 1882 E. 12th Street site.
The Department of Buildings said an attorney for property owner Joseph Durzieh handed the city a letter on April 25 committing to the demolition and indicating a formal application could come as early as next week.
Engineer James W. Feuerborn of firm Thornton Tomasetti will draw up plans to tear down the structure, department officials said.

Good! Knock the ugly crap down!
If DOB did this more often these things wouldn't go up in the first place.
Is anyone going to hold their breath waiting for this to happen?
Are there plans filed yet for what will take its place?
Stricter building codes and enforcements for this city!
Report on it when it's half down. Until that time, the check is in the mail, right?
Stricter building codes and enforcements for this city!

This is a zoning violation, not a building code issue. Two very different beasts.
if Thornton Tomasetti is responsible for the demo permitting, then its coming down. book it. honestly, i can't believe they would even take a job like that when they're usually busy designing metlife and yankee stadium.
