Midtown Skyscraper Structural Crisis | New York City News
Description
Bricks raining from a 38-story Midtown building? That’s the nightmare scenario unfolding on East 42nd Street, where structural failure between floors 21 and 26 has forced evacuations of the under-construction Pfizer-turned-apartment tower — and neighboring homes. A compromised steel beam and buckled columns have halted everything, with inspectors scrambling to figure out how this happened and how to fix it safely. Residents are on hold, and the city’s Department of Buildings is racing to get answers — and a plan — before anyone’s home is deemed unsafe again.
