At about 1:30 p.m. yesterday, the three-story building under renovation at 34 Conselyea Street in Williamsburg collapsed, placing one worker in critical condition and injuring three others. The Department of Buildings has yet to issue a formal report, but commissioner Robert Limandri told The Times that structural members must have been compromised for the structure to collapse in this manner. Gothamist reports that there had been an earlier complaint about the impact of the construction on the neighboring building at 36 Conselyea Street.

sell-ya or sell-yay.
Arkady – add another “y” to the end – the locals say con-sell (or sill) -yay.
Was wondering about the owner, who is listed as Lucille Maundrell.
cool – thx arkady!
I’ve heard “con-sell-ya”.
WBer –
how do you pronounce ‘conselyea’ ??
i’ve typically heard ‘con-sill-eeee-yah’ – but i feel like there must be some cool foreign sounding pronunciation.
And THAT’S why you never excavate a basement.

I have on good information that the owner of that house that collapsed is the mother of David Maundrell of aptsandlofts.com fame
OMG.. Karma really IS a boomerang!
*rob*
Dave – the development to the right (36 Conselyea) in the photo (which looks stalled) was a combination of two lots. 34 and 32 Conselyea are separate projects, both Alt-1 rehabs with vertical and rear yard enlargements.
looks like three independent construction sites next to each other
