There would have to be some kind of permit for this. You're changing access routing and pedestrian traffic. The question is who would the permit be listed under?
Alefantis does things to comet without permits a lot. They aren't even allowed to have live music but they do it anyway. But they did start work on the pegasus project around the same time the dig photos and have permits for that. If there are permits they'd probably be under McCullough since it supposed to be their storefront or whatever you call it. I don't think they needed to redirect pedestrian traffic because they entered through the back via the parking lot.
True, re: Alefantis doing what he wants, but you don't understand what I'm saying about pedestrian traffic. If it was a known passage, you can't block it off. People in the area might be accustomed to using it to get from one street Connecticut to whatever street runs parallel. If it was known, blocking it up could cause problems. For instance, someone being sick and thinking they could cut through the passageway and finding it blocked.
Then the door would have had to have been walled over and most likely have to be replaced by another door. Not sure if it would have needed to be replaced because you need so many doors/exits per the occupancy number. Don't know the ratio, but it's for fire safety.

Very interesting.

It's just one example

the passage doesn't appear to be wide enough to walk through to me, like a foot or two..

Yes,but there's a door on that side. They would not allow a door to be there if there weren't enough room to get outside.

What if the door was there before the building next to it was there, effectively making the door not make a lot of sense when looked at it this way?
