A demolition crew accidentally knocked down a property that had been bought out for redevelopment. Officials in Baltimore said the city received several complaints about a bowing exterior wall and a crack between two rowhouses at 212 E. Fort Avenue (left side of building). After city inspectors deemed the property unstable, the Baltimore City Department of Housing said crews were sent to carryout an emergency demolition. But while knocking down the three-floor rowhouse at 212 E. Fort Avenue, the neighboring property at 214 E. Fort Avenue (right side of building) collapsed. A video of the incident shows part of a brick wall on the third floor toppling onto the roof next door. The 214 E. Fort Avenue property was a former pet shop called the Laundry Mutt that had been bought out and set to be redeveloped by another owner. Authorities said no one was injured in the mix-up.

In professional demolition, you have to take the adjoining wall down BY HAND, should have seen that one coming...

In "professional " demolition, they looked like there was no need for hard hats, nothing to protect. 🤪

And why does the operator continue to dig in AFTER the wrong building got damaged?

I was thinking that as well. Wouldn't there be a need to halt demolition to assess the damage or similar concerns?

The spotter on the ground should have spotted the crack they created along the whole second floor of the building on the right and stopped the demo until it could be shored up. Of course they also damaged the yellow building on the far right also.

Now that's gonna be a costly mistake, hope the demolition contractor got insurance 😂

So, it looks like both buildings were going to be torn down anyways. Maybe not on the same day so I guess they got a two for one.

Guy behind camera should of said something to crew if he knew that was the wrong building!

I don’t think they were initially taking down the wrong building. It’s just that 3/4 way through the video, their negligence caused the adjoining home to come down, not just the correct home. No way for camera man to have known that ahead of time.
