Wall Collapse in Bed-Stuy
A reader sent in these photos of a wall that collapsed on a building near Franklin and Clifton this morning. Helicopters have been circling overhead and there’s a lot of emergency response personnel at the scene. No word on whether anyone was hurt. ABC is reporting the building was vacant.

2:05, thanks for recognizing the reference to the other thread. From the link to ABC comes the following – and, yes, I will be quite happy if it turns out nobody was hurt:
“Firefighters said so-far there are no reports that anyone was injured in the collapse, which happened around 9:30 a.m. at a building on Franklin Avenue in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.”
exhibit #1 in defense against brownstone owner taunting of shoddy condo construction. exhibit #2 is the building on Smith that imploded recently.
Hope nobody but the contractor got hurt on this one.
@1:55 — Biff was riffing on another thread that got far too much attention for what it was, all things considered. That aside, please tell me you are not defining having a bike — a nice bike at that– chained in front of one’s house as a HARDSHIP?
1:56, careful or you’ll get a tongue lashing from 1:55. Please try to maintain a serious and somber tone at all costs.
Estate ready.
3.2 million.
Nice Biff – make fun of somebody’s hardship. I’ve encountered some real a*holes in my time but you are by far the biggest.
I’m with the people above. I hope nobody was hurt.
Last time I checked, 1 block east of Pratt was still Clinton Hill and BEDFORD Stuyvesant is generally regarded as starting at BEDFORD ave.
Here’s a golden oldie, from Mr. BS’s point of view: “We always think of the border being Classon, if for no other reason than that is where the most discernible break is AESTHETICALLY” (emphasis mine, from http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2005/04/bed_stuy_border.php)
Dude, if you’re going to cite Kenneth Jackson, be familiar with his methodology – he polled people in the area and defined the neighborhood borders from the point of view of the people there. Based on the replies in your own post, it sounds like the people there regard the border as being at Bedford.
Wouldn’t particle board just erode?
where is the what?
