"The back of a three-story, mixed-use, vacant building came crashing down around 11:20 a.m. at Myrtle Ave. and Adelphi St. in Fort Greene, officials said."
"The city's Department of Buildings said that, upon investigation after the partial collapse, the building was deemed structurally compromised and in danger of further collapse."
"A 311 complaint filed with DOB last June stated the building, 347 Myrtle Ave., had a severely cracked support beam and that its rear facade was 'separated from the building and leaning.'"
"According to DOB, the building has 17 active violations for failure to file boiler inspection reports stretching back to Feb. 2000, with the most recent violation this past November."
