I&#8217;m just wondering what happened to the supposed &#8220;agreement&#8221; in place:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;Per the agreement, the scaffolding should only be up for 47 days<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hmm.  The letter was sent around in August.  It&#8217;s now November.  I&#8217;m no math genius, but I&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s well past 47 days, and, as y&#8217;all can see from the photos, the scaffolding in the courtyard has only gotten more substantial.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[They] are recessing the walls in the courtyard.., which will allow more sunlight&#8230; It will be a nicer view out your window when all is said and done.  <strong><em>[I suppose this should allay my fears about them adding 3 more floors to the building]<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess I was a little too optimistic about that one!<\/p>\n<p>I should also point out that since that letter was written, my building has changed management (again!).  So there&#8217;s no one around to even enforce the supposed agreements, since they were with the old management company.  Plus, I&#8217;m sure these guys have the permits in place to add the floors, and we&#8217;re all renters, so we&#8217;d simply be told to move if we&#8217;re unhappy.  Oh well.
