An awning collapsed at the Clark Street subway station on August 3, triggering significant emergency response. The 1020 marquee fell near the entrance of the station, and although no injuries were reported, the MTA closed the station and trains were rerouted. The NYC Department of Buildings is inspecting the collapsed awning and found similar maintenance issues with another nearby awning. Council Member Lincoln Restler noted there is no timeline for restoration of the building, which is owned by Educational Housing Services.
Emergency crews received a call that the massive 1020 marquee came tumbling down in front of the subway station located near on 100 Henry Street.
Although the emergency workers left the area shortly before 9 a.m., the station remained closed into Monday.
NYC Department of Buildings crews were seen inspecting the area throughout Sunday morning.
James Oddo, city buildings commissioner, said additional inspections of the collapsed awning are being conducted, as well as a second similar awning.
