Construction company owner sentenced to jail for child's death following wall collapse in Brooklyn
Briefly

Nadeem Anwar's egregious failure to adhere to NYC Building Code safety provisions led to the death of a 5-year-old girl, resulting in his conviction.
The stone wall Anwar constructed was dangerously unstable, lacking steel reinforcements or adhesive, which led to a horrific, avoidable tragedy when it collapsed.
Anwar was convicted for criminally negligent homicide after the 2019 incident, showing a gross disregard for basic safety protocols in construction.
The absence of crucial safety features in the construction raised serious concerns, prompting the Department of Buildings to initiate community education about construction dangers.
