Description
Description | A high-rise building in Midtown Manhattan is undergoing the largest office to apartment conversion project in New York City history. Recently, a buckling steel column was discovered on the 21st floor, raising concerns about the building's structural stability. The project involved adding an additional four floors of apartment space to the top of the building. The city has issued a complaint regarding unapproved excavation work to the foundation, and the Department of Buildings is investigating the cause of the structural issues. The building has had multiple complaints since last year, but no formal violations were issued as inspectors did not observe issues on site. Experts indicate that the building will require stabilization and replacement of the affected columns to safely transfer loads to the ground. |
