Darn! I was hoping it was the abandoned, boarded up, eye-sore of a building 2 doors down from me...

JC building inspectors are useless.

The building next to the vacant lot on the 200 block of Brunswick St. just south of 8th St. looks as though it is about to collapse.

Partial building collapse in Downtown Jersey City
by Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal Tuesday September 16, 2008, 1:14 PM A partial building collapse in Downtown Jersey City forced the evacuation of a multi-family building and an engineer is being called to the scene to "assess what appear to be serious structural abnormalities," said Construction Code Official Ray Meyer. Firefighters responding to the three-story brick building this morning on an 11:04 a.m. report of a collapse at Barrow and Mercer streets found a large section of the wooden cornice had broken off the top of the building and crashed to the sidewalk, Fire Department Director Armando Roman said. Building residents were evacuated and the fire department cordoned off the area, Roman said. "Upon investigation, we saw some serious structural abnormalities including the exterior wall bulging at the back of the building," said Meyer. "Residents are reporting hearing creaking sounds and pieces of concrete falling. One interior staircase is shifting." Meyer said city officials are waiting for the engineer to arrive to make a determination on what has to be done to make the building safe. Firefighters are standing by and Public Service Electric & Gas workers have been called to the scene in case it is necessary to turn off the building's utilities, Roman said.
