Was that considered or even addressed?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes developers, landlords, occupants, tenants, etc. use a technicality like "not up to fire code" as an excuse to simply get rid of something they don't want when to bring it up to code would be a simple issue. They don't even go the next step to investigate what would be involved in keeping the old fixtures, etc... because what they really want to do anyway is to get rid of it.<BR/><BR/>Like when Guiliani declared the old classic historic but dormant Thunderbolt Rollercoaster "Unsafe" and had it illegally torn down to appease the Mets Corporation and their new next door stadium.<BR/><BR/>The simple fact that it was a tin ceiling doesn't automatically mean it could not have been brought up to fire code and has to be removed completely and replaced with a modern ceiling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508785666539595135.post-198869315410078892008-07-07T15:49:00.000-04:002008-07-07T15:49:00.000-04:00Hey everyone, to set the record straight, the new ...Hey everyone, to set the record straight, the new owners did not want to take the tin ceiling down but the ceiling was not up to fire code.

All they care about or understand is the false notion that everything must be made brand new to attract a renter and/or customer. It's a real shame, but it's not uncommon. <BR/><BR/>They just don't get it, or worse, they do but they don;t care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508785666539595135.post-12579676090844775502008-07-02T19:05:00.000-04:002008-07-02T19:05:00.000-04:00What a freaking waste.
