Brooklyn building collapses after being cited by inspectors
BROOKLYN (AP) — A multistory health club shuttered by the coronavirus pandemic collapsed into a heap of rubble on a Brooklyn street Wednesday, three weeks after building inspectors ordered a halt to some construction work at the location because of structural problems.
The three-story brick building collapsed around 4:40 p.m. in Carroll Gardens, the fire department said.
The building, which housed a gym called Body Elite, was located on the corner of Union and Court streets.
