Two things were done
Replacement in kind of interior wall coverings. Replacement in kind, when applied to
architectural features, means replacement with a feature of like material that replicates the
existing feature in proportion, appearance, texture, design, detail and dimensions
Replacement in kind of up to 5 fire windows. Replacement in kind, when applied to
architectural features, means replacement with a feature of like material that replicates the
existing feature in proportion, appearance, texture, design, detail and dimensions.
Did he hide something in the walls? Soundproof the windows?
Stranger yet, he does not own the property

The owner is Boris Rochilin, who ever that is.
Some of the records that a company called CASTELLUM ACHILLES asked for permits.

When you look for this company you find information about a company called CHRISTOPHER ACHILLES LLC .

Owned by JAMES ALEFANTIS, ! His lawyer, ROBERT A. HARRIS IV has opened many LLC with Alefantis.
The house don't look like a place a rich, well connected person like James Alefantis would live:

Why would James Alefantis (a chef and restaurateur) use an LLC to do home renovations on a house he doesn't even own?

What do you bet he flipped the house - and made some $$$?
Lots of people do this, they buy properties that need work, fix them up and sell them. It's not always about murder, madness, and mayhem.

Pretty quick to defend this child disappearer

there's no harm in maintaining objectivity. We hand ammo to the enemy when we presume the worst of every tidbit and declare people as denizens of the 9th circle of hell when the reality may be they've never descended lower than the 4th

Every possible lead needs to be poured over in case it goes somewhere, the same way police detectives pursue their leads. If it doesn't go anywhere, it can just be set aside. There's nothing wrong with exploring possibilities. It would be better if it could be done discreetly, but the way the world is today we have to do it openly on the internet.

disappearer? What child did he disappear?

Even pedos are capable of doing non-pedo things from time to time.
Not to say he couldn't be flipping houses to raise cash for more nefarious activities, but to suggest a shady person did something not so shady isn't in and of itself "defending" anything.
