CBS New York has been digging into the history of the Bronx building that partially collapsed on Monday afternoon, and the past violations at the property.
The property has seven open violations, according to the Department of Buildings. One of those is from March of 2021, related to a hazardous conditions on the facade.
The building is 96 years old and from a black-and-white picture obtained by CBS New York, which was taken between 1939 and 1941, not much has been updated on the exterior.
Investigative reporter Tim McNicholas found Google Street View images from November of last year that clearly show cracks in the corner of the building where the collapse happened.
I think I can confidently say: Make that 8.
From open complaints to multi floor open concept.
Bring your toolbelt, millennials, this open floor plan needs some love but your parents had enough time to teach you how to use tools, right? Uh oh! For the low-low price of $1,000,000, this property is a steal! Get it if you can afford the down payment! We know you’ve got two jobs.
This offer won’t last! Get a spot in this building while it’s still partially standing!
Goddamn the rooms basically just straight fell out of the building
How many violations does the average pre-war building of that size have in NYC?
Also apparently
the city says none of the open violations are for structural hazards on the building, itself
Pre-war refers to WW2. Unless you aren’t serious in which case I could come up with a far funnier answer.
