No permits + no inspections = building collapse?!?!?!?!?

Now where do have to go to get drinky?

Too many layers?

You think maybe the roof was loaded with roofing material in a concentrated area before the roof work was started?

I'd check with the supplier, sometimes they take a snapshot for proof of material delivery, unless that's to much CSI.

You just have to go around the corner for a drink - there's a tavern every block. 8-)

My guess is, there probably hasn't ever been any kind of inspection of that building (save for maybe a health dept. inspection of the kitchen). Too many layers, missing capstones, and no tuckpointing of the building ever all contributed, is my guess.

Poor town, with poor folks. Maintenance takes a backseat to keeping the lights on. :-(

A couple yrs. ago this same town started a rental property registration/inspection program that caused a big stink. You'd think that after all that hullabaloo, a thing as simple as enforcing roofing permits/inspections would be easy...
 
If a layer of roofing brought the building down, it must have been the tenth layer.

Hard to tell from the pics they provided, but it looks pretty thick. I'd bet there are 5 or 6 layers on there, anyway.
