Brooklyn Building Collapse: All 8 Victims Identified and How to Help the Families Recover
Officials said excavation next door may have weakened the building as investigators review prior stop-work orders and cracks found in March.
- Search-and-Rescue operations concluded Thursday afternoon in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood after a three-story building collapsed at 1321 Flatbush Avenue, killing eight people and injuring 18 others, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced.
- Construction work at 2625 Bedford Avenue triggered the collapse; a stop-work order issued in March for inadequate overhead protection was lifted in August after violations were corrected.
- The eight victims ranged in age from 9 to 31 years old, including two children, while 18 others were injured, including four firefighters, according to authorities.
- Mayor Mamdani pledged "a full and thorough" investigation, while Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez confirmed his office is "working closely" with the Department of Buildings to determine if criminal conduct occurred.
- The Department of Buildings is conducting safety checks at 100 locations across the city tied to five entities involved in the project, as New York Attorney General Letitia James warned residents that "whenever there is a tragedy, sharks come out.
