Major repairs were ordered on the building after pieces of the east wall came crashing down to the sidewalk years ago.
Some repairs were made in September 2015, however, city officials have said much more still needs to be done.
The building sits in a landmark spot at the corner of Pinnacle and Bridge Streets in Belleville’s downtown.
