building at 45 Sutton Place South

The previous is significantly incorrect. The buildings are in litigation with the city, however the work was not structural. It was essentially repairs to spalling concrete, none of which was structural. In fact, all the necessary work required only patching and repair as there was no foundation work. The city abused it's authority and spent tax payer money to replace concrete (as opposed to repair). Unfortunately, the city went even further and paid a single disinterested contractor nearly $40MM for work that should have cost several hundred thousand dollars. The case will likely be settled for tens of millions less than the city spent...of your taxes! Good to know that the city is so ready to throw in excess of $25MM of your tax dollars away.

Litigation is now settled ... for significantly less than the $40 million.
