Displaced residents were allowed to return Sunday morning after crews righted and dismantled the crane overnight.

Investigators say the crane struck the 23rd floor of 80 Maiden Lane around 7 p.m. Saturday, causing part of the building's facade to break off and crash to the ground.

Fire officials say no injuries were reported.

Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri says the crane had been authorized to install mechanical equipment at 80 Maiden Lane. He says it's unclear what the crane was doing at the time it fell, since workers had likely gone home for the day.

NY1 has reached out to Bay Crane, which owns the crane rig, but the company had no comment.

The building the crane struck and the two next to it were evacuated as a precaution, and another building was partially evacuated.

Some residents were taken to a Red Cross shelter set up in a nearby school, while others sought refuge with friends.

"I was super scared. They were banging on the door really loud and it was very scary," said one displaced resident.

"They didn't give us a lot of time," said another. "They were putting pressure on us so it was mainly packing up the dogs and getting out of here as quickly as possible."

This latest incident comes on the heels of a recent spate of problems involving construction cranes.

Last week, the city's former chief crane inspector pleaded guilty to bribery charges.

James Delayo is accused of taking more than $10,000 in bribes from Nu-Way Crane Service for about eight years in exchange for falsely reporting he conducted inspections.

In May 2008, two construction workers were killed when a crane came crashing down on the Upper East Side.

That collapse came just two months after another one that killed seven people in Midtown.
