The last item in yesterday’s Harper’s Weekly Review:
…the New York City Department of Buildings discovered that a man in the West Village had disguised an illegal excavation on his property with fake grass and patio furniture. “The case shows the depths to which bad actors will sink,” said the Department of Buildings.
As an ex-West Villager who has interacted with the DOB a number of times, I have had great respect for them but never thought they had a witty sensibility.
