Fire Department of New York (FDNY) officials reported that the second floor of a five-story parking garage collapsed into the first floor, causing a collapse that resulted in the top floor falling all the way down into the cellar. One worker died and four others were hospitalized in this incident.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) reported that the building had active permits related to electrical work on the premise.
