Falling Bricks Cause Evacuation at 132 Ryerson

Just around the corner from last month’s building collapse at 493 Myrtle, the small rowhouse at 132 Ryerson began raining bricks on a neighboring property yesterday, causing the Fire Department and DOB to evacuate the building. According to The Local, which posted a video this weekend, the building will remain evacuated until emergency repairs, including a sidewalk shed, can be completed. Here we go again, said Larry Esposito, an owner of La Stalla restaurant next door and the building that houses it.
