===== Because of the absence of publicly verified documentation, and given the speed and lower transparency of the project, it appears unlikely that all required HAZMAT protocols (for asbestos + lead) were fully followed — at least not in a way that has been publicly demonstrated. =====

That does not conclusively prove violations, but it does raise serious questions about whether the normal standards (surveys, abatement, monitoring, disposal, and clearance) were satisfied to the usual degree of rigor.

If you like, I can attempt to dig into regulatory filings or local permitting records around the project (if any exist) to see if I can locate a definitive audit of compliance for this demolition. Would you like me to do that?
