Cambridge halts 66 Kinnaird St. demolition started without permits

Cambridge’s Inspectional Services Department halted demolition at 66 Kinnaird St. in the Riverside neighborhood after neighbors reported unsafe conditions, including debris that nearly struck a passing car. The site lacked police detail and required road or sidewalk closures. Officials say the demolition permit belonged to a previous developer and could not be transferred when Arco Homes-affiliated buyers acquired the property; the contractor faces a citation for missing permits and required 48-hour notice. The project would build a four-story multifamily building.
