Does This Look Like Construction and Demolition to You?
Because according to the letter sent out by Mr. Craig R. Casner of Casner Construction (Est. 1947) dated September 28, 2009, it said that demo and construction was supposed to start October 16, 2009.
Only yesterday afternoon, September 30, 2009 did we receive this letter. Yet that very morning bright and early before 7:30am, the bulldozers have been moved onto the landscape and have been ripping up the landscaping all day. I find it strange that a construction company could not keep its own start date straight, but if the company’s been in business that long, then this is not a matter of not keeping its own start date straight, but rather, not keeping its own word.
One of my neighbors have called Mr. Casner and said it this way:
Spoke to the owner of Casner Construction inquiring why they have started before their start date. He was rude.
Spoke to the city (they indicated Casner is rude to them too) and they sent out a guy who has stopped construction until the start date.
The city has instructed me to do the following:
If they start earlier or work later than the times indicated below, the city has instructed me to call the police and say “the building department has instructed me to call you regarding this construction company working outside the work times. ”
The times are M-Fri 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. Sat 9-5
Please pass on to other neighbors requesting a later morning start date to our counselman, Mat Kilroy…information below….as well as feel free to call the police if this company violates the above.
I understand the desire to build a new home. THERE IS NO REASON WHY A NEW HOME CAN’T BE BUILT AND THE NEIGHBORS WELL BEING BE CONSIDERED AS WELL.
That’s the rub – “considering the neighbors” – can it be that a company that builds its very business building a neighborhood doesn’t actually CARE about the people (”residents”)?
We’ll find out, but so far, it’s not looking good from where I’m blogging.
