This is not a Brooklyn story, but given that we constantly cover construction safety issues and the Department of Buildings, it is so horrendous that we’d be remiss to not mention that a crane collapsed this morning at E. 91st St and First Avenue. It damaged nearby buildings and early reports are of two fatalities. There have been issues and complaints related to the crane. Full coverage at Curbed.
