A construction company and its management are charged in the fatal August 2019 partial collapse at a Bronx construction site that killed a worker.
The Bronx District Attorney's office said it uncovered multiple layers of fraud used to get the permits to build at 94 East 208th Street. Between that and the negligence in violating construction regulations, the DA says what happened in 2019 was no accident.
Construction worker Carlos Huertas, 46, was crushed to death and at least four others were injured in the collapse. "The horrendous death of Segundo Manuel Huerta Mayancela-buried under cinderblocks and metal sheets--was entirely preventable," Clark said. "The construction site at 94 East 208th St. was a deathtrap waiting to happen."
"The City's buildings codes are written to support and advance safety on construction sites," NYC Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber said. "As charged, these defendants failed to follow the law and to carry out their most basic responsibilities, including to show up in person to ensure safety standards were being met.
