100 Clark Street Demolition Update -- How Far Will the Heights Let This Go?

As reported yesterday, the "derelict" 100 Clark Street, in Brooklyn Heights, was found by inspectors to be so unsafe that the building was evacuated and a wrecking crew was sent in early Sunday to demolish the top two floors.

A Buildings Department complaint states: "CALLER, DOOR OF THE RIGHT SIDE IS BOWING OUT THE SAME PROBIS ON THE 3RD FL & THE ROOF."

The above photo was taken Monday afternoon. (You can see the original building contours in photos taken Sunday, here.) Crews continued to dismantle the building into the night Monday.

Now neighbors are wondering just how far this will go. The building is landmarked -- it doesn't take a stretch to imagine that pretty soon cries of protest will be heard.

The building has been up for sale by the Penson Company, which bought it two years ago.
