ESDC/Forest City goes back on their word...

yet again. Apparently our safety is far from their minds as their hands are close to our pocket books from DDDB:

Investigation Not Complete, Demo Continues.

A statement by the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), in a Metro NY article, raises a serious question :
Old Atlantic Yards concerns resurface
...ESDC spokesman A.J. Carter said the Dept. of Buildings hasn’t completed its collapse investigation...
Two months ago the northern parapet wall of the Ward Bakery building in the Atlantic Yards footprint mysteriously crashed 4 stories to the ground, crushing cars, littering the sidewalk and street with tons of debris, and evacuating the homeless shelter next door for most of the day. Luckily nobody was injured.

After the mysterious event the ESDC halted all demolitions by Forest City Ratner until a more stringent procedure was in place, and until an investigation into the dangerous event occurred. Specifically the ESDC issued this statement:
...We're thankful that no one was hurt and we recognize the need for the Atlantic Yards project to continue to progress safely, without causing disorder in the lives of residents in the surrounding neighborhoods.

To that end, the Empire State Development Corporation and developer Forest City Ratner have agreed that the developer will temporarily suspend all abatement and demolition activities until the City's Department of Buildings concludes its preliminary investigation or the City directs us otherwise...
But yesterday abatement towards demolition re-commenced on the Ward Bakery despite the fact that the collapse investigation and its findings have not been concluded. Why?

Because Ratner knows his project is unraveling and the faster he createss realities on the ground the faster he thinks the imporpriety and corruption will be water under the bridge.
