my family once had a similar issue with the building dept ordering a building “sealed”. no matter how we “sealed” the building (and it had to be vacated beforehand), we could never satisfy the brooklyn building dept.

when we looked into the file, we found out a certain politician was involved, and no one in the building dept would do anything against that politician. so we had to hire politically connected lawyers, and they fought too expen$$$ively.

of course, hte politician represented someone who wanted to buy the property, but didn’t want to pay the price. but this was no conflict of interest for the politician.

my point is, as the residents say — the building dept has political (or other) motivations.

by the way, this is a joint action by the building and fire depts.

It would appear that this is typical governmental bureaurocracy gone crazy, with mismanagement & total disregard for residents’ rights.

It seems the tennants didn’t have a problem with the Matzoh bakery, which according to them, was there for years. So what changed? Gee, could it be there was no money in it for the inspectors?

Meanwhile, the tennants suffer, & nobody seems to care. How many Jewish tennants are there? Any children? Where on earth did all these people go?

mr dovid ladimore you are jumping to conclusions way before you know the facts if you would have tacken a moment to read and research the story you would have seen clearly who was demonstrating and you would not have said your comment
I think an apology is due to the people you so quickly accused
