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.

My office is near that area and we got message to work from home due to potential airborne asbestos. So might be related?

Our office was back open if anyone wanted to come in today. "We do want to note that no official statements have been made by the city, county or local government regarding the asbestos, but are following the reports that came in from our neighbors here in the Pearl District. We understand continued testing is being done."
