EXCLUSIVE — Builder of Car Mogul Chuck Schumacher’s Controversial Palm Beach House Apologizes For Video Taunts!

Click title for link to the latest preservation drama happening in Palm Beach. This is a serious matter and there are many issues at play here. The article is by Jose Lambiet, who is a gossip columnist, so keep that in mind. In short, a wall in a landmarked estate on Palm Beach that wasn't supposed to come down as part of the renovation, ended up coming down. The Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the after-the-fact demolition based upon testimony that the structure was unsound and dangerous for workers.

Then videos showed up (included in link), taken by the contractor, that seem to mock the fact that the wall was coming down as it came down. If anyone wants an abject example of what not to do in this situation, this is it. Now they are talking about the possibility of these videos being played before the Landmarks Commission.
