Tragic Brooklyn Building Collapse Kills Construction Worker at Illegal Site

A 33-year-old construction worker was killed in Brooklyn when the first floor of a residential home collapsed during illegal construction work. The Department of Buildings had issued a partial stop-work order in December, but the work continued, leading to the fatal incident. The victim, Juan Ganche, had immigrated from Ecuador and worked in construction for 14 years. This tragedy highlights the ongoing issue of construction site safety in New York City, where construction-related fatalities have been on the rise, prompting lawmakers to enact stricter penalties for companies whose workers are killed or injured on the job.

Illegal Construction Site Collapse in Brooklyn Kills Worker

A 33-year-old worker was killed in a construction site collapse in Borough Park, Brooklyn, while doing work that officials say was illegal and in violation of a stop work order. The Department of Buildings Commissioner stated that there were no plans submitted for the site, and the fatality should not have occurred. The collapse, which resulted in the worker's death, is under investigation, and the site could face significant fines for violating the stop work order.

Associated Newspapers denies the allegations and says the seven claimants, including Prince Harry, Sir Elton John and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, have left it too long to sue. The judge promised to produce his judgement "as soon as possible".
