Here's the latest complaint, which was dismissed:
Overview for Complaint #:1217297 = RESOLVED
I wonder what's in store for the inspector who found "
CRANE IS ERECTED ACCORDING TO APPROVED CN. #39/08, CD#3774 "?
You can check out the history of complaints and violations (DOB=Dept. of Buildings, ECB=Environmental Control Board). Some of the violations are petty (relevant to this incident) such as beginning work before the issuance of permit. Some may be the workers' failure to clear debris from the premises (if there were tenants) after they finished for the day.
This was an avoidable tragedy. My condolences to the families of those who died, and sympathy to those who lost their homes and businesses. Nothing can make up for the loss and trauma, but I hope the builder and contractor get the pants sued off of them and lose their licenses.
I don't have CNN, so I didn't know about the Atl. tornado. Wow, Mother Nature has been very mean to that city lately! I hope it wasn't too destructive.
