Contractor and owner's representative apologize, cite communication breakdown over historic framing work
Summary
Madigan and Company and the owner's local representative apologized to the commission, said on-site supervision was present, and described the issue as a communication failure rather than intentional destruction of material.
Madigan and Company and the property owner's local representative addressed the commission after staff presented photographic and inspection evidence of altered historic framing at 333 West Bleecker.
Contractor Chris Madigan said the superintendent was HPC-certified and "was on-site every day," and stated that while framing had been altered and reinstalled, "no framing materials were discarded." Madigan acknowledged the project team "failed" to engage staff early on for means-and-methods discussions and described the lapse as a communication breakdown.
Owner representative Derek Skelko said he will take a more active local role moving forward and apologized for the outcomes, telling the commission, "If I could turn back time for 6 months and do this, my god, I would do that in a heartbeat." Both emphasized their intent to cooperate with staff and to improve monitoring and communications on future projects.
