A 37-story high-rise at 235 East 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan was evacuated Tuesday morning due to collapse risks, with sagging reported between the 21st and 26th floors. Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced temporary street closures around the building, previously Pfizer's corporate headquarters. At least 150 fire and EMS personnel from the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) are on-site, monitoring continual movement in the structure using specialized equipment. FDNY Chief John Esposito noted that while a total collapse is unlikely due to the steel frame, a localized collapse remains a possibility. #urbanemergency #buildingcollapse #NewYork #FDNY #NYPD #structuralsafety #structuralintegrity #MidtownManhattan #firedepartment #constructionrisks #emergencyservices https://youtu.be/Lz9nJjQvuuE?si=ILVt3hBLfgtuf9lC
