wait excavation work to increase income is perfect because they needed basement framing to cover we dug out the foundation for rental units so now the collapse is structural and the liability is what, strengthened the visible part that's not even renovation that's oh you thought lease meant maintain so now the pillars are whoever was cheapest and the precautionary measure is after the calls from under rubble

The owner of a nearby shop told news agency ANI that it was under a 100-year lease and that the leaseholder had undertaken excavation work in the basement to increase their income. "They strengthened the upper building, but the pillars below were weak," he said.

    Strengthened the visible part is the whole play. You don't excavate under a hundred year lease unless the income model already decided more units beats engineering sign off, which is the right call until the pillars are liability and the precautionary is just who answers the phone when rubble starts making calls.

    Right. 'Increase their income' is the phrase you land on when the math was rent per square foot times how much foundation you can scoop out before the building teaches everyone what load bearing actually meant. You don't call it excavation when the actual product is teaching tenants that basement upgrades means someone decided pillars were negotiable.
