Your lack of knowledge on building design is astonishing! The Hotel Charlevoix is so overbuilt the decades of neglect have not done much to damage the actual structure of the building. The bricks falling while a major nuisance and should be repaired as soon as possible have absolutely nothing to do with the structure of the building they are just decoration.
Also if you did a little bit of reading on here you would find that the owner is in the top 2 or 3 neglectors drawing the most ire on this forum, and yes the CoD is as much to blame as the owner!
Last since you seem to very uniformed this building is one of just a handful of designs left by architect/Detroiter Henry S. Joy.
What we don't need is another stupid parking lot!
A link to few more of Joy's designs for those who have a Facebook account.
