Tear them down. Take away the architect and engineers licenses. Someone had to sign off on these projects. Get rid of D-14's. It does not work as long as you have people with no integrity or morals. DOB should hire more people and charge more money to build in NYC. The money is here. Too many making too much dirty graft as well. DOB is corrupt so why should every one else abide by some convoluted set of rules designed to pacify and confuse the general public. And then people die. So very wrong Mr. Mayor.

It's not just Scarano's buildings. There are many buildings in the city that have been built not up to code.

People have to stop buying buildings and apartments in buildings that are built the way guys like this build them. I have several of his buildings in different stages of being built in my neighborhood and they are built like garbage. They never should have been put up and they should probably be taken down.

No need to demolish- just have the US Marshals seize the property and buildings.

Well, there's only one thing to do if the construction was illegal. Demolish those buildings. Architects and builders would stop their shady antics pretty quickly after a couple of city-ordered demolitions.

Take everything from him and send him off with a one-way bus ticket to Las Vegas.

I'm surprised the cut and paste guy hasn't shown up on this thread yet to defend Robert. Guess Google hasn't picked this up yet.
