He told me that the contractor is either new or bad- the building was fully sheetrocked and then they learned they needed fire sprinklers, so they had to tear down a lot of the ceilings to install the sprinklers. Also, it's apparently only two units- one unit in each wing- which seems like a very strange use of space. Also not helping is the orange stop work sticker that went up yesterday, although I saw some work being done today. They might have gotten temporary approval to continue.

Just this week they, whoever "they" are, have started installing a fence across the front yard and along 11th street. (you can actually see the fence in PoP's photo above) Actually, I walk my dog past this building almost every day, and things are still slowly proceeding.
