A thread on 5ch’s Newsoku VIP board reported a dispute over demolition work starting next door that escalated to calling the police. Officers showed up but only issued a warning, and posters quickly noted that neither the demolition company’s name nor a required permit notice was posted anywhere on site. The thread grew into a discussion of legal requirements, with users pointing out that removal of asbestos-containing materials requires advance notification, and others suggesting a report to the Labor Standards Office.
Police are here
You don't use a bulldozer for demolition

They're using one
Some kind of CAT (Caterpillar) machine

Wait, wasn't your house supposed to be surrounded by roads on three sides, with only one side bordering a vacant lot?
I remember you writing something like that back in the sensor-light drama thread

Unless the other guy's yakuza-affiliated or actually breaking a law, nothing's gonna happen, right?

Huh?
They ARE breaking the law
Demolition of asbestos-containing material requires wetting it down first
and advance notification is mandatory

Whenever someone asks this guy why he'd bother hiding his ID when there's no need to, he never answers
>>34
Is it actually required to post one?

What's the name of the demolition company?
Going ID-less is itself an ID (in 5ch, you can hide your poster ID)
They're all the same person

I've got my own demolition neighbor drama going on right now too

Right?
Are they doing something illegal?

Not sure if it's day one of demolition, but you normally don't use a bulldozer for this lol
Going straight to the bulldozer is either Showa-era yakuza business or a movie shoot lol

They're smashing through the demolition without spraying any water at all
The dust is insane, my laundry's covered in it
And of course there was zero advance notice
No demolition permit posted either, it's a company that clearly doesn't care about the neighbors and won't even give their name
Calling the police was completely pointless

Isn't that a mini excavator? It's got an arm (the hand-like attachment on heavy equipment)
Anyway if you want to know the company name, there's a sign posted — just look at that, it's got the demolition permit info on it too

That's exactly it!
No sign, no demolition permit

Apparently depending on the size of the demolition site they're supposed to post a permit notice, but not doing it isn't actually a crime, so nobody will do anything about it
Since I don't even know the demolition company's name, I can't even file a complaint about the noise, dust, or vibration

That's a city hall matter
Civil, not criminal

By the way, I once had a guy pretend to apologize and then try to headbutt me point-blank
I barely dodged it, so be careful

Then a report to the Labor Standards Office, maybe?

Are the police actually coming? How many people are on site right now anyway? If this goes badly the crew might get hauled in lol

For a single-house demolition, they often don't bother putting up a sign, right?

It's two buildings
And not posting one is a violation of the ordinance

Normally it has to be posted somewhere visible to ordinary passersby too — maybe it's just hidden because the site's so cramped?
Though in this case it sounds like there's just nothing there lol
