Three more parking garages get vacate orders after deadly collapse
Two of the garages are located on the East Side of Manhattan, while the third is in Brooklyn.
Inspectors ordered the complete clearance of the five-story parking garage at 228 East 9th St. after discovering it “in a state of disrepair” so bad there were cracks in support beams and the elevator shaft. Investigators also noted exposed steel reinforcements in the building. The Buildings Department not only discovered structural issues with the concrete slabs and brick columns in a garage attached to an 11-story residential building at 148 Madison St. on the Lower East Side — the city review found that operators had crammed in twice as many cars as allowed, fitting 71 when only 32 are permitted.
A DOB spokesman said the problems were identified as part of the inspection blitz launched following the collapse of the Ann Street garage. All told, city inspectors and engineers have checked 78 parking garages across the five boroughs that had outstanding serious violations of the Big Apple’s safety codes in the aftermath of the collapse, officials say.showed the Ann Street garage had a long history of significant structural issues, including cracks in the connection joint between one support column and a ceiling beam.
