CLEVELAND — Joan Crosby of Cleveland understands how fortunate she is to be able to tell her story after a huge wall of brick, concrete and steel from the vacant Empire Plow Company collapsed right in front of her car.
“I really didn’t know what was happening, I was driving down the street, and the next thing I know, there was debris all over my car," Crosby said. “This could have been worse than what it was; I mean, I feel blessed to be able to stand here today and be able to talk about it.” Crosby showed News 5 a repair estimate of more than $2,800 for her 2013 Ford Escape after she said her vehicle was pelted by the falling debris. Crosby believes the City of Cleveland must do more to monitor and follow-up inspect ongoing demolitions at large industrial buildings, which can take several months to complete.
Hyacinth Neighborhood Block Club President Kathy McDonald is hoping Ward 5 Cleveland Councilman Richard Starr will follow through on efforts to get multiple city departments to examine how follow-up inspections and permits are issued for industrial building demolitions.
