PR4YS FOR HIS REMOT4L.
A PROPERTY OWNER MAKES CHARGES
AGAINST THE BROOKLYN COMMIs-
SIONER OF BUILDINGS

a petition has been filed with Mayor Van Wyck
by John Dunbar property owner OF Sheepshead
Bay, praying for the removal from Office Of John
Guilfoyle, Commissioner of Buildings in Brooklyn
Mr.. Dunbar alleges favoritism in awarding con-
tracts for the removal OF buildings allowing viola
tions of the building code and other offences.
Commissioner Guilfoye last summer condemned
wooden building owned by Mr.. Dunbar and or
dered w ]. Cody, contractor. to tear it down.
1t is said by Stephen NJ. Hoye. counsel for Mr..
Dunbar, that he will show the hearing that
Cody was allowed to charge for eight hours work
at the rate OF four days for a foreman assistant
foreman and workmen. and that the charge for
tearing down the building between $500 and
S4e0. when it should have been about $50. 1t is
alleged that the building perfectly safe, and
that the order was malicious one. The charge
was resisted in the courts. and Justice Gaynor
referred the matter to Sanders Shanks who re-
ported that in numerous instances Cody had been
charging the city at similar rates. The contro-
versy is still pending in court
1t is alleged by Mr.. Hoye that the discovery
that excessive charges had been made in many
instances led to investigation, in which it
established TO his satisfaction and that of his
client that Commissioner Guilfoyle had been hav-
ing remarkable dealings with Cody and other IA
vored contractors
Mr.. Dunbar's petition to the Mayor alleges that
Commissioner Guilfoyle is using his office for
rupt and improper purposes; that he allows gross
violations OF the building code 10 eyist without any
attempt 20 suppress them: that he allows GER
tam persons TO commit fragrant violations of the
building laws. and that he maliciously prosecutes
the petitioner and others by bringing technical
proceedings for the purpose Of harassing and an
noying the petitioner and other property owners
causing enormous eAl-ense and trouble, as well
as the destruction of their property. 1t is also
alleged that Commissioner Gufoyle allows certain
favored friends and contractors charge and col
lect from the city four and in some instances
i've times the value of the services performed for
the city, and that he is now trying to charge the
property OF the petitioner exorbitantly and to
establish lien against 1t for exorbitant amount
The petitioner asks that the Commissioner be sus-
