Hundred bricks offer facade and punching a hole in her roof. This ain't the first rodeo. Faze reported garbage trucks doing the same thing before, cutting internet service. Two years back, just down the street. A Toronto hydro truck pulled sighting off neighbor Edna Rodriguez's house, though that subcontractor covered, repairs. Residents are sounding the alarm for tighter safety rules, especially with two schools just 300 feet away and kids playing outside.
