The owner of a condemned ground zero skyscraper says work to take down the building will resume next month.
Avi Schick, chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, says workers should finish resealing the former Deutsche bank tower later this month.
Deconstruction stopped after the Aug. 18 fire that killed two city firefighters. Before the fire, officials had said the building would be taken down by the end of this year. Schick gave no estimate of when it would be finished.
Twenty-six floors of the former 40-story building has been taken down.
