A tragic incident occurred in Brooklyn when a 43-year-old construction worker was killed following a partial roof collapse at a steakhouse undergoing repairs. Fire officials reported receiving calls about a person trapped under a fallen concrete slab. Despite the efforts of firefighters to rescue him using air bags, the worker succumbed to his injuries at Brookdale Hospital. The Department of Buildings is investigating the situation, focusing on the absence of necessary permits for the construction work, and has issued violations for the unsafe conditions.
The city's Department of Buildings was investigating the incident, noting that no permits for demolition work had been filed, raising questions about the legality of the repairs.
Firefighters used air bags to lift the concrete slab to free the worker, but despite their efforts, he was later pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital.
