It's funny, but you can actually tell from that shot that the quality isn't there. It's the haphazardness of the site. You don't see unused forms haphazardly dropped on top of rebar on most sites, or safety fencing just barely propped up against random 2x4s, or crates of materials dropped unevenly on top of rebar because the swamper couldn't be bothered to grab a piece of wood for dunnage. When the lay down area looks like that you can be sure they're paying even less attention to the actual construction.

This has been shoddy and sketchy ever since the landowners used very questionable practices to get rid of the tenants just over two years ago. The demolitions were quick and dirty, without dust control until complaints came in. I'm almost hoping for a serious site-closing safety violation here.
 
Oh come on. Look at the stupid safety fences piled up on the second floor facing Jarvis. What a gong show. It's scary to think of these guys working fifty storeys up above a busy intersection.
