Bayside Contractor Cited After Fatal Brooklyn Balcony Collapse by Keach Hagey, Queens Chronicle, NY
“The plans showed the balconies to be recessed into the buildings, where the actual construction showed that these balconies were just built as extensions, not recessed,” said Jennifer Givner, spokeswoman for the Department of Buildings.
As of Friday, the department had dismantled three other similarly constructed balconies on the luxury condominium complex at 9718 Hamilton Parkway. “The Department of Buildings is performing a top to bottom inspection of all balconies, for this building and the adjacent building, which was built by the same company,” Givner added.
The collapsed platform was attached at the rear of the development, across from a park, where several witnesses heard the crash on Thursday, according to reports. As the steel beam supporting the platform gave way, it swung down onto a lower balcony and sent the workers and the flowing concrete falling, fire department officials said.------------------------------------------- posted 8:52 AM :: reference link ::
