Demolition crews tore down a building at 545 Sargent Avenue on Wednesday.

X-Cues Billiards and Café owner Sal Infantino told CTV News last month that erosion of a city sidewalk in front of the building at 545 Sargent Avenue in July 2014 caused the sidewalk to collapse and he said when that happened, the foundation of his building went with it.

He previously said the city has ordered the building be demolished with Infantino left to pick up the tab.

The building has been vacant since 2010 but Infantino had undertaken a lofty renovation project to turn the property into a mix of retail on the street level and apartments on the second floor.

The city had issued a response last month regarding statements from Infantino.

“Citizens may submit claims to the City if they feel the City is in some way responsible for their loss or damage. If a claim has already been submitted, all information related to the claim is confidential and cannot be disclosed,” it said. The city also said in this instance “the initial unsafe condition order to comply was issued to the property owner in November 2014 and directed the property owner to either repair or demolish.”
