1 year has passed since deadly Lower Manhattan parking garage collapse. What has changed?

NEW YORK -- One year ago Thursday, a parking garage collapsed in the Financial District, killing one person and injuring five others.At the time, the images of the floors of the garage crumbling were unbelievable. During the days that followed, crews carefully lifted cars off the rubble. Since then, the garage has been demolished and other damage has been repaired, but the incident has raised concerns about structural stability across the city.

The Department of Buildings said it is still working with law enforcement and a private engineering firm to determine the cause of the collapse, which killed 59-year-old parking garage manager Willis Moore.'This Department is committed to promoting the safety of our fellow New Yorkers, and we can confirm that the vast majority of parking structures that have been inspected do not pose a danger to the public.
