According a very official looking work stop order and notice of violation stuck to the side of the high profile wall on Saturday, yes!
Issued by the NYC Department of Buildings, it says the newly erected “structure” on Houston Street, built by Deitch workers and covered in wheatpaste by Shepard Fairey, was done without a permit, leaving two options: obtain the proper permits for the “small building” or tear it down. See the full official notifications below. UPDATE: The WSJ confirmed that the mural is currently in violation!
hahahahahaha…it looks commie; that's why it's coming down
it does look commie, but he has a ridiculous legal team and I'm sure it will still be up. If not, I want those cope2 sides.
Huh. Do you have to obey the order if they misspell 'resinded' [sic]?
its funny, that means no repairs to any damage like holes or torn off panels
the guy who tossed bricks at it should go back, stop work order means no repairs under threat of criminal charges.
you can only do emergency work if there is danger and with approval from the DOB.
so better than NAW a dude calling 311 did more damage than a spraycan.
they thought if they constructed a wall extact like the previous wall they would trick inspectors, by creating an enclosure they created a building with a doorway
all done without permit,….
now instead of just graffiti vandals getting pinched, shep and his assitants become arrestable for any repairs to the structure.

@COPE2: I hear you about the "hatin" but I don't think this is necessarily bad press. It's straight forward reporting.
i hope they tear this shit down, the gemeos wall was so much better! fuck corporate bullshit paper artists that go over DASH SHOW memorials. DIE SHEP DIE!!!
The Os Gemeos is still there under the Fairey, and it'll be visible again when the Fairey piece comes down.
That Os Gemeos shit is GAY.
Don't worry, I'm sure Target will file a counter-suit and save its ad. Otherwise, the piece will be moved to the Brooklyn Museum for Target First Saturdays.
wow, mad haters here……I think It came pretty fuckin dope!
Paint the fucker black!
now u people see how messed up it is for the dob to take action against billboards??
how does it feel when it is something you like?
i'm amazed at how many people are still on fairey's dick. he's a boring one trick pony and always has been.
Really? You let them build a freaking wall and put up a completely official mural then you throw government paper work in their faces. NY government sucks balls, go arrest a rapist and leave artists alone. Damn dude, OS Gemeos work is gay? You are my friend, JOHN, are the gay one. Maricon!
