What are the reasons for the power downs before the 9/11 attacks?, page 3

I would think there would be a maintenance log book, but it could have been destroyed. If an outside contractor did the work, they would have records.

Looking into the permits of the trade center is nearly impossible. The NYDOB (New York City Department of Buildings) website has no data on hardly ANY permits prior to 9/11. Here's a post from a previous topic that sums up what I'm saying.

Were they working on the plumbing or sprinkler system on 9/11? I don't know, that's why I ask.

An easy way to find out would be to go to the NYDOB website and look at work permits.

Unfortunately, there are no permits to look into for WTC 1, 2 & the old 7. There are permits for the new WTC 7 but very little (like 1 or 2) for the old buildings. Are they trying to tell me that in the 30 some years the towers were up, that there was NO work done on them?

Here's the site if anyone wants to check it out for themselves.

WTC 1 has 4 listed. but notice the dates of issue. There are only 2 that are pre-9/11. The others are for sidewalk sheds and temporary stage. The one from 1992 was for "minor partition changes on part of 39th floor as indicated on drawings". The one from 4/2001 was also for sidewalk sheds.

So, this is all the work that was done on WTC 1 since erection? I call BS.

There are more for WTC 7. 7 total pre-9/11. That I could understand a little more since WTC 7 was built in the 80's and not the 60's.

Sorry to go so far off topic. Not really since we are talking about sprinkler work and such.
