Crews demolishing the former Jesuit retreat house were told they can only work
on asbestos abatement after residents filed complaints with the city that work continued despite an earlier stop order, according to the Department of Buildings.
Ballinger says he was
on the front lines of major contracts between NYCHA and independent contractors, supposed to be doing work, like replacing boilers, replacing roofs, and
abatement of lead mold and
asbestos.
However, after
asbestos was found in some buildings, the DOB issued a partial stop work order
on the project that only allowed crews to preform
asbestos abatement and site cleaning, according to DOB records.
