A compromised 37-story building in New York City that was evacuated amid fears it could collapse has been stabilized with temporary supports and no additional shifting is taking place, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday.
235 East 42nd Street, a former office building being converted to apartments in Midtown Manhattan, was worked on throughout the night and into this afternoon after construction workers noticed alarming signs of stress early Tuesday — steel beams “bending like cigarettes,” cracks and falling bricks.
