Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The building is unsafe because its walls are bowing and gaps have formed between walls and floors. It contains asbestos, an oil tank, PCEs, and other contaminants, so the structure will be taken down from the top while air quality is monitored. Remaining contaminated materials may be covered and the site monitored until cleanup funding is available; the site could be permanently capped if funding is not obtained.
