The company responsible for a demolition that went dangerously wrong last week has been ordered to stop all work in Vancouver, and it's not the first time the company has faced questions about safety.

Hundreds of pounds of rubble spilled onto the road when the north wall of the former William Davis Centre for Acting collapsed into the street on Thursday, shooting clouds of dust and debris into a car stopped at a nearby intersection.

Shortly after, a second wall fell, toppling a light standard and narrowly missing a flag person standing on the road. Miraculously, no one was injured in either collapse.

Videos of the two walls collapsing were posted on YouTube, and the video of the first collapse has already reached more than 180,000 views.

The company responsible is Global Excavating and Demolition, based in Surrey and run by Karmjeet and Jagjeet Panesar. When CTV News visited the address listed for the business, neither was available to speak.

The company has a history with WorkSafe BC -- in the past three years, it's received six compliance orders, including one for an excavation.

Will Johnston, the city's chief building official, told CTV News that the company currently has one other demolition permit for Vancouver, which has now been put on hold while a review of the company's safety practices is underway.

"We're reviewing what the requirements are for the demolition contractor to make sure that they are meeting the requirements," Johnston said.

The review is expected to take about a week, and Johnston said that the YouTube videos will be used in the investigation.

Experts who have watched the videos say they're surprised by the method the company chose to take down the building.

"Somebody should have provided some shoring on the outside to prevent it from falling out, or at the very least, have closed the street all around in case it did collapse," said Perry Adebar, a professor of structural engineering at the University of British Columbia.

WorkSafe BC is also investigating the demolition.
