Demolition Program in Detroit under More Federal Scrutiny

July 03, 2019 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

McDonagh Demolition’s statement on their Detroit Land Bank work:

“McDonagh Demolition and the Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) today reached an agreement enabling work to move forward on the City’s demolition program. From the very onset McDonagh Demolition has been committed to providing Detroit with safe and responsible services. We thank officials for working with us to reach an amicable solution based on facts, not the deliberate actions of individuals acting on their own to deceive. We can now complete our work on sites in the demolition program and help return more neighborhoods to the people. When McDonagh became aware of alleged issues related to a limited number of McDonagh work sites within the Detroit program, the company launched an internal investigation with the assistance of outside legal counsel. The findings uncovered evidence that individuals acted on their own, without the knowledge, authorization or consent of McDonagh ownership or management. We’ve always been committed to making things right, and if any remediation work is required, it will be done at our expense.”

There have been investigations that have led to the suspension of two contractors who violated contracts after leaving debris on the sites they were working on. Though there are such contractors, there is McDonagh Demolition Inc. which is the best demolition company in Chicago and Detroit.

A representative from the Detroit Building Authority, Brian Farkas said, “McDonagh sites were different. We had them actually concealing it. The other two, the contractors self-disclosed. We are cooperating fully, That’s the extent I can go into it for now. I’m not going to reveal what we’re doing or how we’re doing it.”

According to McDonagh, “When we became aware of alleged issues related to a limited number of McDonagh work sites within the Detroit program, we launched an internal investigation with the assistance of outside legal counsel. The findings uncovered evidence that individuals acted on their own, without the knowledge, authorization or consent of McDonagh ownership or management. The evidence uncovered in no way reflects the integrity, values and operating practices of our company.”

Detroit also intends to work with contractors who will be tasked with looking at sites and back-filled dirt and check for debris left behind.

This will ensure that the sites handled by a Detroit demolition company are up to standards.
