Permit? I Thought YOU Got the Permit

This "stop work" sign went up after noon yesterday. At lunchtime workers were loading debris into roll-offs. At dinnertime I found this.

 

"NO PERMIT + PLANS
NO PRE CONSTRUCTION MEETING"
12-28-12, Friday

I looked online and couldn't find the permit. Did you know you can search Atlanta building permits and enter complaints online?

Stop work orders are common. In my neighborhood a contractor can go to court for leaving too many dirt clods on the street. They keep their eye peeled for little white pickups with a city logo. But I think the contractors on this demolition are too experienced to make this mistake.


This demolition has been going on for 10 days.


The sign was there from the beginning, December 18. I mean from the beginning of the end.


There must be some mistake.
