Brooklyn's Clark Street subway station has been shut down indefinitely following the collapse of a hotel awning. Surveillance footage recorded the incident, showing the awning falling without causing injuries. The Department of Buildings cited poor maintenance as a contributing factor, and investigations are ongoing. Similar awnings are under inspection due to corrosion concerns. The station's closure is impacting local businesses and residents. MTA officials expressed frustration over the inconvenience caused, as trains continue to run but do not stop at the station.
Surveillance video captured the moment Sunday morning when the awning came crashing down in front of the 2 and 3 Clark Street station. Thankfully, nobody was nearby when it happened, and there were no injuries.
A spokesperson from the Department of Buildings said the 15-foot by 20-foot awning showed signs of poor maintenance, but the investigation into the collapse is continuing.
The station's closure is frustrating businesses and residents in Brooklyn Heights, and adding inconvenience to the daily commute. MTA officials spoke about those concerns Monday.
Trains are still running though the Clark Street station, just not stopping there for now.
