Bryan Kanarek, the broker who represents the owners of the building on top of which the Kentile Floors sign is perched (for now), was quoted last year saying, "The sign's not going anywhere. We love the sign. We have a lot of respect for it." Now he's maintaining that he knows nothing of its impending demolition, despite the fully approved permits. "[The owners] said nothing's happening with the sign, that they were just doing some maintenance and they weren't taking it down," he told the Times. The permits tell a different story.
