Demolition-Section 23.A.01 (1) an engineering survey - by a Registered
Professional Engineer - of the structure to determine the structure layout, the condition of the framing, floors, walls, the possibility of unplanned collapse of any portion of the structure (any adjacent structure where employees or property may be exposed shall be similarly checked), and the existence of other potential or real demolition hazards;
Demolition-Section 23.A.01 (3)A demolition plan - by a Registered
