As the investigation into Wednesday morning’s crane collapse in Manhattan continues, records on the companies involved in the construction site show a number safety violations — and even link one to a deadly collapse about 15 years ago
In Wednesday's fiery collapse that left 11 people injured, including two firefighters, the city's Department of Buildings commissioner said a Westchester company called Cross Country Construction was operating the crane. The general contractor in charge of the construction site was Monadnock.
The News 4 I-Team examined violation histories for those companies dating back to 2016. Two OSHA violations have been issued against the general contractor related to fall protection and hazardous use of equipment, and the crane operator had one related to electrical hazards. "The folks who are involved in the crane operation, the general contractor of the project, we're looking at all, as I'm sure you will be, we're looking at all of their histories to see what those stories are," Commissioner James Oddo said.Panzella said the results of the 2008 lawsuit were mixed. On one hand, putting contractors on notice there could be punitive damages for crane mishaps, but she also said they way cranes are inspected remains inadequate.
