NEW YORK -- Two workers were hurt in a partial collapse at a Brooklyn building Tuesday afternoon. It happened just before 2 p.m. at Stuyvesant Avenue and Greene Avenue in Bed-Stuy. There's now a gap in the scaffolding surrounding the building because, according to the Department of Buildings, it was compromised when a 20-foot section of the parapet fell onto workers there. The parapet is decorative molding on the façade of the building.
The collapse appears to have been contained to the upper floors. Back on Feb. 7, there was a complaint filed with the Department of Buildings that read, in part 'doing construction work without a permit inside of the building in the apartments. The owner of the building construction workers that are not licensed.' 'Just a very loud bang, I guess. I don't know. The floor shook a little bit,' one resident said. 'It sounded like a huge bundle of bricks hitting wood.
