Recently a Supreme Court Judge charged the city of New York $5000.00 because he stated that the city did not comply to court orders to show documents to victims families.

“Two workers were killed when a 200-foot crane crashed into an apartment building on the Upper East Side in May 2008. The accident happened just two months after seven people were killed when a crane collapsed on the East Side.

City crane inspector Edward Marquette was indicted in 2008 on criminal charges of tampering with public records, allegedly indicating on a Department of Buildings inspection sheet that he had inspected a construction site on East 51st Street on March 4 of that year, when in fact he had not.

The crane collapsed 11 days later. Officials said it was unlikely an inspection would have prevented the tragedy, but the incident sparked an agency-wide examination of its inspection processes.”
