The developer of the property adjacent to the fatal Brooklyn building collapse had a record for cutting corners at the construction site, according to records from the city buildings department.
Those documents show that owner Robert Fischman sent a letter to neighboring landlords in June of this year to inform them of an upcoming disturbance: his company would begin excavating the empty lot at 2625 Bedford Ave. to make way for a new apartment building.
