Crews carefully cut through the steel connections securing the existing stair structure at 639 Cleveland Street, preparing the assembly for removal. Working from elevated platforms, the demolition team separates stair components from the surrounding steel framing with precision. The stairwell removal marks an important step in reconfiguring the building’s interior spaces as redevelopment progresses.
