City Got Stonewalled

From the New York Post, Apt. Bosses ‘Knew Collapse Was Near’

The collapse of a massive stone wall on the Henry Hudson Parkway two years ago could have been prevented if the property owner’s engineers had alerted the city to the danger and done more than try to tie the structure to a tree, a scathing city report has found.

A nearly two-year probe of the collapse at Castle Village in Washington Heights determined that the managers of the apartment complex and an engineering firm brought in to examine the wall knew the structure was at imminent risk of falling.
