The two photos below were taken from the 15th Street side of the block wide construction site. Looks like they are excavating around what's leftover of the Board of Standards and Appeals unapproved foundation. Quite a lot of the previous building's debris in the mix.
Anything salvageable from this beat the clock foundation disaster?
Haste makes waste, I'm afraid.
All the things listed on the stop work order is clearly safety violations. Someone can certainly get hurt if the rules are not taken seriously. In my opinion if you need to shut the project down until it's done right. So be it.
