Investigation underway after Bronx building collapse displaces residents
The Bronx District Attorney's office is investigating a partial collapse of a seven-story apartment building in the Bronx that has left dozens of tenants homeless. The collapse occurred at 1915 Billingsley Terrace, and an assistant district attorney is working with city departments on the investigation. The building had previously been flagged for "unsafe" facade problems, and tenants had complained about poor conditions and lead paint issues. The building owner, David Kleiner, is facing scrutiny and has a history of housing code violations. The investigation into the cause of the collapse is ongoing.
