Honestly, I don't know what happened -- I was just repeating what I gathered from some anti-Trane campaign flyers and I'd love to know more about it all.

But as for the permitting process, I can't say whether or not 1188 might have needed a variance or two, but I cannot imagine they could have built that without a special permit. I believe anything with more than three units requires a special permit.
