Town of Braintree

Yes this is the stuff successful

Yes this is the stuff successful lawsuits are made off! To take down only a part of so large a structure requires sound engineering experience, the use of explosives would add unknown unrevealed stresses to the now weakened total!

How could a contractor evaluate the stability of a structure so weakened without close observations and some kind of stressing testing which would/could lead to total collapse!

Why would Quincy issue such a partial demolition permit, have the people issuing the Quincy permits engineering degrees or did they consult an engineering service to advise them?

Where they even concerned with the structure?’s stability after a partial demolition?

Why where these people at the site attempting to take down the rest by hand? Why would anyone spend any time under a weakened unstable structure when it was being taken down?

The questions a well trained legal adversary would ask would be difficult to answer!

There is little common sense at work here that I can observe! When the Braintree permit was denied was a valid reason given? Why was a hand demolition allowed, who gave permission for that? I believe Braintree is in great legal danger at this juncture and is wide open for a major
judgement against it!

By evaluatestability of a structure

Galewski-No! Planning-Yep!

I would disagree from my read that our buiding inspector has been guilty of anything. He ordered a condemmed property demolished. A company hired by the land owner has the legal and engineering responsibility to carry out the order. Planning Board intervention and delay tactics imposed would in my view be more suspect for being arbitrary and capricious in their actions. Sometimes, our local officials appear to drown in their own importance. What was good and timely on Quincy's side (from same state building and zoning code)is another matter in delay it again sam Braintree. My prediction is that planning board members and their director will spend far more time and town's monies defending their curious actions than Mr. Galewski will ever need to. Mike Ford himself in condemming his own planning board colleagues appeared to confirm that!

License

Is Galewski licensed? I believe he wasn't when he was hired. If he still isn't the town is in deep do do

Hanging On Wall.

Visit his office and you'll see if you ask to his license hanging on the wall in his office. He wasn't, but he is now.
