Nearly three years ago, a construction worker in the Bronx was crushed to death under mounds of debris while working at an apartment building Now, four men have been charged in his death — which investigators say was entirely preventable
They described the construction site as a"deathtrap waiting to happen." The weight caused the floors to collapse, leaving Huerta — a 46-year-old father of five — trapped in a pile of steel and rubble.
The owner of the company the DA alleged was doing the actual construction was arrested on charges of second-degree manslaughter. He was arraigned and is out on supervised release. "A former employee of New York City's Department of Design and Construction was allegedly paid $3,000 for the use of his credentials — and allegedly never visited the site," said Clark.
"Today’s announcement sends a strong message to construction industry: Negligence at the worksite and farming out of credentials will not be tolerated," said Kazimir Vilenchik, the acting commissioner for the city's Department of Buildings.
