The city's Department of Buildings strongly encourages anyone who suspects there is an unsafe condition in a building to call 311, unless the issue is an immediate emergency, like falling bricks. In that case, a spokesman said people should call 911 instead.
Meera Joshi, the deputy mayor for operations, said at a briefing that the city had more than one million buildings and 500-something inspectors, so we will never, with boots on the ground, get to every building. It depends on engineers or other specialists hired by building owners.
