NYC parking garage collapses

This is starting to look like the Surfside condominium collapse....the problems were well known....but nothing was ever done. Or at least not enough was ever done, and government did not protect us.

The Manhattan parking garage that collapsed this week, killing one and injuring five, has a lengthy history of structural issues that required substantial repairs — including 11-foot-long cracks in the walls and roof, engineering docs obtained by The Post show.

The extensive work required to make the Financial District parking deck safe was laid bare in a 2010 engineering report after the owners of the Ann Street building were slapped with a violation summons by the city.

The laundry list of repairs included multiple 11-foot wall cracks on the second floor and cracks in the roof measuring 10 feet and 4 feet. Fractures were also discovered in at least one spot where the building’s ground floor columns connected to a ceiling support beam, according to the report.

It’s not clear if any of the dangerous issues were ever repaired.
