There should be more than 400 in there. Is your favorite condemned building missing from the map? Ed promises to update it over the weekend with any permits taken out today.

Update: Ladies and gentlemen, your patience has been rewarded with the following mayhem. (Links below.)
Oh, yes — another biggie today. Your patience, please, while the data is carefully crunched and mangled. All the dangerous-building destruction you so richly deserve, coming up.
Update: They’re here! All sixty-something of them.
Today: So many dangerous buildings, so little time! We’ll fill you in on the list as soon as we’ve got it crunched.
