Upon release of the report, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson expressed her concern, stating that 'This error has forever traumatized a community and could have led to the loss of innocent lives.' Her comments highlight the emotional toll and potential loss that such engineering mistakes can incur.
Department of Buildings (DOB) Commissioner Jimmy Oddo emphasized, 'The bottom line is that licensed construction professionals are supposed to know how to safely repair a building, and failure to implement proper safeguards when removing structural elements of a building shows an unacceptable lapse in judgment.' This underscores the responsibilities and expectations of professionals in the construction industry.
