NYC orders thousands of parking garage inspections in wake of fatal cave-in
The city’s buildings department is set to enforce stricter inspection requirements on thousands of parking garages that might have otherwise avoided review for years, after a deadly cave-in killed a man in Lower Manhattan earlier this year.
Andrew Rudansky, a spokesperson for the buildings department, said the new rule will allow the city to “identify potential structural issues before disaster strikes” at those facilities. The new rule will be posted in the City Record next week, following the end of a public review process earlier this year.
“It seems to me the alarm has passed,” said structural engineer Eric Cowley, one of 85 qualified parking garage inspectors in the city. The buildings department said the current inspectors shouldn’t have a problem handling the workload, as long as owners contact them to schedule the reviews.
