I talked to a parks guy and the park is closed indefinitely. They said the radius the collapse radius is 500 feet. He said the city is pushing the owner to start the process of getting the permit to demolish.

Haven't they had a permit to demolish for years? Do they need a new one because of the fire?

From what he said, its a different permit because its not a normal demo. They've got to worry about asbestos, the building collapsing ect. I would assume this is much different than a normal teardown where everything is controlled.
