Them inspectors looking really scared right now. 🤦🏾♂️
RIIIIGHT!!!
This what happens when license contractors hire the cheapest laborers they can find smh that building had a good foundation they’ve totally destroyed it
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was reported months ago and the landlord ignored it
I'm sure that they'll say the building is not structurally sound, the building will be demolished, and then very expensive new homes will be built there which will not be low income housing....it's been happening around the neighborhood for years ~ another method being used to rid the neighborhood of low income residents...gentrification is at an alarming rate, and whatever they need to do to get rid of low income housing is what they will do, and trust me, everyone is on board. Including PHA because they do not rebuild, they just replace the residents and sell the properties....hopefully they won't cause any fatalities behind this form of greed.
.. heavenly Father has blessed you with outstanding observation, prepare yourself to be guiding navigation of a generation 👀
