Description
Description | Emergency repairs are underway after several structural columns buckled at a New York City high-rise located at 235 East 42nd Street. The 1970s-era tower, currently being converted into luxury apartments, was evacuated due to the risk of collapse. Contractors have begun emergency stabilization work by installing temporary supports inside the building. The project aims to create more than 1,600 apartments, making it the largest office-to-residential conversion in New York City history. Structural engineers expect major repairs involving the removal and replacement of damaged columns, which may be costly and long-term. |
