Leak sends water gushing into lobby of Bronx building that partially collapsed last year
Saturday’s rainstorm sent water streaming through the lobby ceiling of a Bronx building that partially collapsed three months ago, according to video footage shared by attorneys representing its tenants.
The leak inside the building renewed concerns about its stability, said Zoe Kheyman, an attorney with Legal Aid, which is representing Billingsley Terrace tenants in a lawsuit against their landlord. Department of Buildings spokesperson Andrew Rudansky said inspectors visited the building Saturday after receiving reports of the water leaks. While they found water leaking from the ceiling of the lobby, a spokesperson said they did not find any water pooling on the roof. The department issued a violation to the landlord for failure to maintain the building.
