Following last week’s deadly parking garage collapse in Lower Manhattan, the city's buildings department now says it is conducting an emergency review of 61 locations with parking garages that have structural flaws.
, the city's buildings department now says it is conducting an emergency review of 61 locations with parking garages that have structural flaws and require immediate attention."Certainly, your class one violation is the most extreme violation you can get outside of a vacate order," said engineering expert Eric C. Cowley.Class 1 violations means the building conditions pose a threat to life, safety or property and warrants immediate corrective action.
Sources say last week's collapse might have happened because there was too much weight on the roof. With more than 50 SUVs packed on top, sources think that could have been the ultimate cause of the collapse. One source tells FOX 5 they expect the emergency inspections of the 61 buildings to be completed in a matter of days. Meanwhile, numerous drivers are still without their cars and residents who live next to the garage remain displaced."It’s been stuck," said Brent Aurricho, whose Mercedes C300 is inside a parking garage at 27 Beekman St. "It’s been right behind that gate over there since the other garage fell.
