"Just before at 8 a.m. Tuesday, the #FDNY received reports of a structural issue at an active construction site on East 42nd Street between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue in #Manhattan. The call came in for reported issues at a 37-story building at 235 East 42nd Street that is currently being converted from a commercial office building into a residential building. FDNY units, as well as representatives from the Department of Buildings and NYC Emergency Management, responded and found structural issues on the 21st floor. Two structural columns buckled, and there were multiple cracks and sagging floors. "It's a very serious situation because the box beams—the steel beams—have started to bend and deflect from the weight," Chief of Department John #Esposito said. "We evacuated the building and started evacuations of surrounding buildings. The building has continued to move since we have been on the scene." The FDNY's drones have provided technical information and visuals for partner agencies as assessments are conducted. All workers were accounted for as of 1 p.m. Tuesday. Approximately 150 FDNY fire and EMS members responded to the scene." #NewYork #corrupt #corruption https://archive.is/d72wo "interesting permits/violations found on regwatch nyc" https://archive.is/qWHI4 https://archive.is/iiGza "#Pfizer sale and #Werner purchase - “In late 2016, Pfizer announced its intention to sell both of its 42nd Street buildings and move its headquarters to another Manhattan building. Pfizer placed the 42nd Street buildings for sale in early 2017 and signed a lease at #TheSpiral at #HudsonYards in 2018, intending to relocate there. David #Werner tentatively agreed to buy the buildings that April, and Werner, #AlexandriaRealEstateEquities, #DeutscheBank, and the State of #Wisconsin Investment Board bought 219 and 235 East 42nd Street for $ 363.5 million in July. The acquisition was funded by a $ 150 million loan from #MorganStanley. Public records indicate that the partners paid $ 228 million for 235 East 42nd Street (excluding the land) and $ 142 million for 219 East 42nd Street. Pfizer signed a five-year leaseback agreement for both buildings, allowing it to continue occupying the buildings temporarily”" https://archive.is/K3Z0B
