Flatbush Residents Demand Answers After Brooklyn Building Collapse
Authorities are reviewing permits and stop-work orders as crews sift debris and examine roughly half a dozen companies and 160 city sites.
- On Wednesday, a three-story building at 1321 Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn collapsed into an adjacent construction site, killing eight people and injuring 18 others, including four firefighters.

- Mayor Zohran Mamdani expanded the investigation to 160 sites linked to six entities, stating authorities will pursue 'any evidence of criminality' to the fullest extent of the law.
- City Council Speaker Julie Menin pledged to strengthen building codes and regulations while ensuring displaced residents receive support from the Red Cross and city agencies.
