But the property owner’s lawyer, David Volk, objected, saying an engineering report commissioned by the owner said it could be repaired.
Earlier in the meeting, the city’s chief building official, Saul Schwebs, had said preparing the building for demolition would take five weeks, or 35 days, rather than the 21 outlined in the staff report.
Volk asked council to let the owner hire an engineer and contractor to do “structural supports to shore up this building” to make it structurally sound.
Council amended the report and the owner will get the five weeks to try to save the building.
