 Because the building was in the Park Avenue Historic District, the commission would need to approve the demolition.Sachs was not at the hearing, but his representatives urged the commission to allow for the building to come down, citing the falling bricks; the fact that the building is a frequent target of squatters and urban explorers; the building lacks any historical details; and that Sachs had been unable to find a developer or buyer for the building.They also said that Sachs didn't have the financial means to rehab, secure or demolish the building himself.
