Miami’s Code Enforcement Board voted to deny an extension for a 19-story building in downtown Miami to clean up graffiti, according to NBC 6.
The building is slated for demolition, to make way for a supertall tower called One Bayfront Plaza.
Interior demolition on the old building began in May 2023.
In early December 2023, the building was painted over in graffiti.
Commissioner Joe Carollo claimed the owners aren’t moving fast enough.
“This is a joke. How could you get away with something like this in a major city like Miami?” Carollo asked.
In a press conference, Carollo said he wanted the building painted over before New Years Eve celebrations
