The wall collapse also caught my eye–when did human life become so cheap? How badly injured were these poor guys for what I’m willing to bet is a crappy looking poorly-constructed building?This city was once really strict about job safety. Also–where on East 22nd Street? Isn’t that a low-rise area? Will the personalities of all Brooklyn neighborhoods be subsumed (along with the workers) under this years-long avalanche of crap?
Stop coming here and advertising your blog, Oder. If Brownstoner thought it was worth reading, he would have included it in the links.
2 more buried while underpinning, WTF?
When is the carnage going to be stopped by DOB and these obvious incompetent contractors & developer going to get the boot. ENFORCEMENT! Pull this guy’s license (if he is), not more work on ANY of his sites until an investigation is done.
3 worker deaths, 3 collapses, many undocumented injuries in the past 18 months…and that’s just in this part of Bklyn!
Disgusted.
