The partial demolition of the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Co. building is expected to commence next week, after delays pushed back an initial timeline for the work. Dubuque city officials this week notified property owner Steve Emerson, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that they will begin assessing municipal infractions each day demolition on the deteriorating structure has not begun starting next week. Emerson did not return a call seeking comment Friday. Michael Belmont, assistant housing and community development director for the city of Dubuque, said a copy of the insurance certificate that officials had been awaiting was received Friday.
