Lafayette Building's top two floors subsiding?

OK, so you are calling a time out to decide whether to punt or go for it. Hope the wind dies down or something.

In order to get even a temproary certificate of occupancy for the building, it will need to be watertight, have health endangeroing and hazardous materials removed and will need to have code complaint water, sanitary, heating, electical and fire supproession systems. That is going to clock in closer to $13 million to $14 million than it will to $3 million to $4 million. One the face of it, the Keffilanos proposal isn't worth the paper its written on.

When he can't come up with then money, what then?

On whose report is that $13 million to $14 million based? I'd like to see what the Scope of Repair is before making a decision predicated on guesswork.

You may know your Bean Counting inside-out, PQZ, but I don't see a "PE" or "AIA" after your name, so any "professional" opinion you provide on the condition of the building isn't going to carry much weight.
