Hoarding is starting to go up on the Grid site and Enbridge was on site Wednesday afternoon to cut the gas connection.

Demolition has started on the old rooming house/shisha lounge on Jarvis. It's a rush job: notice the bathroom fixtures and the refrigerator left inside.

I wonder how long this property will sit empty before construction starts. Have they even done any sales?

Shouldn't there be hoarding around the site to protect pedestrians from the demo work? That looks pretty unsafe!

This is the shoddiest demolition job I've seen. Zero dust control this morning as demolition continues. I reported this to 311.

This will be down before the garden inn

Haha yeah, and for sure before anyone @ 311 attends to this demolition

That house is pretty old, is there a possibility of asbestos exposure?

Was that not a protected historic property or soon to be? Is that why they tore it down so fast, like at 1 Bloor West?

Or lead paint?

Could be, but if the city issued a permit who is right and who is wrong here??

They didn't even take the air conditioner out of the window. It's not like that's difficult to do.

Pretty sure they were able to carry their sales from the original version of the building over to the revised version.

ProGreen had a GFL watering truck parked outside this morning as demolition continued. I'll take credit for that.

(Are ProGreen Demolition and Green For Life owned by the same people?)

GFL bought them last summer
