New York City building inspectors reportedly discovered an illegal excavation underneath what looked like a backyard patio. Building inspectors responded to a complaint Monday and were stunned to see the fake floor and the gigantic hole in the West Village backyard. Sources told the paper that the dig threatened the building and its neighbors. Sources told the paper that inspectors also found day laborers hiding inside the house and inside a moving truck that was used to ship out debris. Brian Flynn, an engineer whom Ienco hired to get back into compliance with city inspectors, told the paper that Ienco wanted to add more head room to the shallow basement.
