A Brooklyn building collapsed on November 11, 2026, leaving eight people dead and nearly 20 injured.
The collapse is being linked to questionable excavation work at the neighboring site, which was issued a stop-work order in March and was later allowed to continue in May.
Now, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has ordered a review of approximately 100 sites tied to five entities involved in the construction.
Olufemi Falade had over 1,800 violations
An anonymous complaint flagged unsafe digging at 2625 Bedford Ave. where contractor Mordechai Waisbrod was in charge despite safety violations.
The owner of the collapsed building, Olufemi Falade, already had over 1,800 violations on record, raising big questions about oversight and responsibility as city officials dig into what went wrong.
