engineers and inspectors are on scene investigating the building collapse in Brooklyn,” an agency spokesman said on Wednesday. Mr. Alimena said that Mr. Park recently started repairs on the building to fix the cracks and the bulge. Mr. Alimena, who has been in California in recent weeks, said that he was returning to New York City on Thursday to survey the damage. Families, dog walkers and workers came outside and stared in amazement at the spot where the building once stood. “That’s why we’re all shocked, because it wasn’t structural,” said Mr. Evans, referring to the repairs.
