A tragic accident occurred in Marine Park when a 43-year-old construction worker became trapped under a fallen concrete slab. Despite the quick response of 60 firefighters and EMS personnel, who used the 'Jaws of Life' to extricate him, he was pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. The Department of Buildings issued violations for unsafe work practices, including operating without a permit, and a stop-work order was put in place as investigations by multiple agencies began.
We had workers performing repairs and installations of a refrigeration unit on the first floor... They actually used the Hurst tool to lift up the debris.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) issued violations, including one for working without a permit and failing to maintain the structure.
