The fatal wall collapse that killed one worker and injured three others in Chinatown on March 7 was not a result of previous violations, amNewYork Metro has learned from the Department of Buildings on Thursday.
fatal wall collapse that killed one worker and injured three others
When a wall collapsed during the demolition process of a three-story building at 126 Lafayette Street on Tuesday, the DOB revealed that the worksite had a laundry list of violations, with DOB Commissioner Kazimir Vilenchik postulating that the fatal incident could have been a result of one of the previous violations. However, upon further investigation, DOB sources said that this tragedy appears to be unrelated to past write-ups.
According to the DOB, the five previous violations were for failure to maintain the shanty — it was allegedly not made from fire-rated material — as well as failure to remove hazardous materials before demolition started and scaffolding with tarps on each side causing a hazard, the sprinklers were removed from the building out of sequence from the demolition plans and storing 50 tons of construction material on the first floor—this caused overloading on that floor.
