DUMBO — Controversial architect Robert M. Scarano Jr., based in DUMBO, has been banned by the Department of Buildings (DOB) from filing construction plans ever again in New York City.

Unfortunately it only means that he can't file paperwork directly, he'll just have another architect in his practice deal with the DOB. Now if they banned the company....

WIth all the crap that Scarano has done and publicity he is getting (albeit negative) do you think another architect in his firm would be willing to put their a** on the line to submit his paperwork/?

Does Scarano have any buildings/properties in the works now?

The buildings that have issues or are overbuilt...what is happening with them? Those families families bought one thing but received another...no?

They work for Scarano. Doesn't that speak to their moral fiber?
