TL;DR Summary

Amtrak service between New York City and Croton-on-Hudson remains suspended due to structural issues at a parking garage in Midtown Manhattan that potentially endanger the tracks below. The garage, owned by Lineage Properties, has been issued a vacate order by the Department of Buildings (DOB) after engineers discovered cracked and deteriorated steel beams. Amtrak has directed customers to use Metro-North as an alternative, and there is no estimate for when normal service will be restored. The DOB is awaiting a repair plan from the garage owner, who has not yet submitted a required inspection report. This incident highlights the importance of the city's inspection rules for parking garages.
