Old West End Electric - This Can't Be Good!

Has anyone else noticed the green...oozing...mold...seeping out of the bottom of the doorway at the old West End Electric Building on Fairfield Avenue in Morrellville?
Add to the fact that mold covers the inside windows - I can only imagine what the rest of the interior looks like.
The ice is not from the weather - it's from the water that is leaking out of the building. And though it's hard to tell from this photo - it looks like the interior floor is also a carpet of green mold.
This is just as much a hazard from a health standpoint as its neighboring building - the old Harris-Boyer Plant which could kill you by just standing underneath it.
Just imagine - if the Harris-Boyer Building blows up - taking this building with it - most of Morrellville will be covered in old bread crumbs,pieces of gob, bricks and mold! The Hazmat teams won't know where to start first....
And finally you have to love the irony of the "Sorry we're closed" sign....
