New 6th Street psychic apparently didn't summon psychic powers before taking this space

Late last month, a psychic set up shop in the lower level at 310 E. Sixth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

In recent days, workers covered the storefront — the long-shuttered Taj Mahal — with plywood. A reader described the city's arrival here as a "commotion," with what looked like an eviction from the basement where several people were living/working.

Anyway, the DOB slapped vacate orders on the basement space (dated from Tuesday) ... noting "that conditions in this premises are imminently perilous to life."
And per the DOB's all-cap style online:
VACATE OF COMMERCIAL BASEMENT SPACE. AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION OBSERVED TWO LOOSE CERAMIC TILES DIRECTLY OVER MAIN ENTRANCE TO COMMERCIAL SPACE IN BASEMENT. OATH SUMMONS FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AND VACATE OF COMMERCIAL SPACE ISSUED. 
Obviously, we're all thinking the same thing: Why didn't the psychic see this coming????????

P.S.
And are two loose ceramic tiles "imminently perilous to life"?

    Never mind the all caps, but they can't fit DETERMINED in one line?

    I'm sure he/she saw it and then saw the Pot of Gold that comes AFTERWARD.

    You don't want ceramic tiles loose and running around. They are emotionally brittle and have been known to plot revenge against their supposed tormentors.

    Loved the old Taj. Good food, fun hang but the basement was a bit on the funky side.

    Living illegally in a commercial space = eviction
