2020-10-28 00:00:00+00:00	2021-08-26 00:00:00+00:00	Building Inspection Division	Ongoing construction for approximately 3 yrs. contractor not giving notice to tenants about work in the common areas and common areas not be kept clean. workers are moving stuff that has hazmat label on it. there have been 4 notices of violation and no penalties. they have never been in compliance. they should do it at night when people are not walking around, not during day. who wants to step on it? it is a dust material. the building is from 1920, with last renovation in 1986. the workers are wearing hazmat masks...heavy duty. if they are wearing that, it is not good for the tenants who are walking through the lobby. the landlord is super cheap and they way they are working they rather sacrifice living conditions rather than do the right thing. lots of short cuts. the meridian group is the management company. i dont see any job permit posted.
