of a parking structure in lower Manhattan, New York City building officials swept through dozens of parking garages and ordered four of them to immediately shutter because of structural defects that “deteriorated to the point where they were now posing an immediate threat to public safety.”
“This work was done in the interest of public safety, and out of an abundance of caution,” said Department of Buildings spokesperson Andrew Rudansky. Why it collapsed is still under investigation but the building had been previously cited for various structural defects, including signs of corrosion in concrete called “spalling.”
The collapse shook nearby buildings and terrified people who described the sound of the falling structure as a massive explosion and compared the experience to a violent earthquake. They found four properties with structural damage in the parking garages where the damage was so bad, the city issued vacate orders to at least parts of the structures.
