| "Part of a high rise" does not equal "giant building collapse". It was a corner, OP. |

Right on the day the administration announced it won't distribute 18B earmarked for NYC infrastructure:

Why should the government repair privately owned buildings in NYC? It shouldn't? So that's irrelevant. |

I dont know the NYC building website makes it look pretty well managed. Maybe its a facade but "Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday is the first day of NYCHA's "heat season," which is when boilers must be turned on said that fact "is not lost on him." NYCHA says it tests all of its boilers throughout the summer ahead of heat season, so that is going to be something they're looking into during the investigation. Con Edison shut off gas service to the impacted building. A collapsed underground water main was also reported as a result of the explosion." |
