Four construction workers in Chinatown were injured, including one critically, after a building collapse on Tuesday afternoon at a site where numerous building code violations had been detected, according to officials.
First responders flooded 126 Lafayette St. at around 1:15 p.m. on March 7 after a wall collapsed onto one worker and caused another three to fall, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens reported.
“So, we have a total of four injuries. The person that was buried has a life-threatening injury,” Chief Hodgens said. “They [firefighters] were able to use hand tools and their own hands to remove the debris quickly.” “Yes, one of the violations was for overloading on the level. It’s possible. As I said it’s a preliminary indication,” Vilenchik said.
