Summary
The former Pfizer building is being converted into a 1,500-unit luxury rental complex. The 37-story 235 East 42nd Street is being redesigned. The 21st to 26th floors of the building, which once housed pharmaceutical giant Pfizer , started caving in under the stress, officials say.
Furthermore, 'Now luckily there have been no injuries to report at this time, all workers are accounted for, the building has been evacuated, a number of tall buildings in the area are also being evacuated at this time, a school with about 400 children has also been evacuated,' he said. The city issued a $10,000 penalty for that and a temporary stop-work order for the entire site. The call initially came in as bricks falling from the 37-story building, but when the FDNY arrived on the scene they found buckling and sagging floor conditions.
In addition, Eight nearby buildings have also been evacuated as emergency crews work the scene. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged anyone in the area to follow the instructions of the first responders on site.
