Senator Hoylman: “The proximity of this construction site to 800 elementary students at a local public school on the block makes this a matter of the utmost importance.”

NEW YORK - State Senator Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) said: "I’m angry and sickened by the death of a passerby near the luxury condominium development at the site of the former St. Vincent’s Hospital. The proximity of this construction site to 800 elementary students at a local public school on the block and thousands of residents and workers in the area makes this a matter of the utmost importance. I'm grateful to the NYC Department of Buildings for swiftly issuing a stop-work order and urging a thorough investigation of the tragic circumstances of this accident to ensure the safety of the public and the workers on the construction site."
