A [first] Lawful Electrical Permit. And then one for occupied 2B?!

Sorry for the delayed posting.
Hot off the NYC Buildings Press:
Lawful Electrical Permit for Apartment MD!
-Notice that this permit actually has the street address, and the complete identifier for the apartment in question:  "MD"
This appears to be the only such lawful apartment electrical permit from this building.
Literally.
Example:
Electrical Permit for Apartment 5G -
Where is the "G"??
What is with this "005"?!
The Fifth Floor is not sufficient.
Table: 21 Apartments subjected to Reconstruction with A2 Permits.
Others - at least 6 identified - without any permits.
Most have new or upgraded electric panels, requiring permits - but only a few might have been permitted.
- As of 12/6/2012, the only apartment at 110 Bennett Ave.,
with a correct & clearly marked electrical permit,
 was Apartment MD!
On 12/11/2012, tenants noticed that two recently vacated apartments were being worked on, with no permits, days after the SWO ECB Violation: 
Unit 2D
&
Unit 6D.
Complaint was made:

Re:  ELECTRIC WORK IN PROGRESS IN 2 APTS. IN 2D... A NEW CIRCUIT BOX INSIDE AND ABOVE BOX WALL IS OPENED

Category Code:3A      UNLICENSED ELECTRICAL WORK IN PROGRESS

It seemed that someone at Rose might have gotten THE MESSAGE to stop doing substandard and illegal work, because the very next day, 12/13/2012, an electrical permit application was made for apartment 6D:
But then it was noticed that they pulled a permit for apartment 2B, which is currently occupied.

Perhaps we should have a poll from the readers, seeking the reason for this phenomena:
___ A. The Master Electrician who filed it does not know his ABC's - & D!
___ B. They are trying to make up for not having pulled an electrical permit for 2B in March, 2009, when they replaced the electrical panel. Of course, that would mean they have to retroactively permit the other 20+ units with new panels and no electrical permit pulled.
___ C. They know they are in BIG TIME violation in Apartment 2D, and are hoping once again to do a bait and switch, by pulling a permit for a unit nearby.
Please vote, comment, or give other explanations for this oddity.
Meanwhile, since we seem to have Rose's attention, albeit alphabetically dysfunctional, a request must be made:
COULD YOU PLEASE TURN UP THE HOT WATER?
WE CAN'T EVEN WASH OUR DISHES HERE!!!
Thank you.
