It’s been a rough 24 hours. First, at around 9:30 last night, a wooden cornice fell off the front of 316 5th Avenue in Park Slope, luckily injuring no one. Then, the rainstorm hit the borough this morning in the pre-dawn hours, knocking over several trees in Prospect Park South. (Check out lots of pics on the Crazy Stable link.) And this just in: 18-20 Jackson Place has collapsed, leaving only a partial facade intact. No one was injured and the adjacent properties appear to be okay, according to an eyewitness account. The property was allowed to become derelict by the current owner. Can anyone send a pic of the collapse?
