After reading the report and, as much as it (truly) pains me to admit this, Rocco Termini is in violation of the permit and is using creative interpretation of the word “stabilization” in an effort to complete (future) required interior work.
Since this was an asbestos removal project, stabilization was in reference to shoring-up exterior walls, from the inside, in order to complete the asbestos abatement.
However, from a practical and monetary point of view; I agree with Rocco Termini’s approach because replacing floor joists is permanently shoring-up and stiffening the building structure whereas the permit issued indicates temporary or removable shoring.
Alas, a sad day when I agree with the City of Buffalo’s building inspectors….
The review missed the main point of the accident -- the events of the day. Who ordered the young man to go up to where he fell to death, and who ordered the construction crew to work against their will, after the accident, to put up a safety barricade that was missing?
The accident responsibility and the subsequent cover-up are the issues that the FBI and OSHA are looking into.
