Funeral services were held Tuesday for the operator of the crane that collapsed on East 91st Street last week, as city officials said that the building damaged by the crane will remain closed.

A spokesperson for the Office of Emergency Management says crews are currently working to repair apartment doors inside 354 East 91st Street that were busted open when firefighters evacuated the building last Friday.

However, OEM says that about 40 apartments that were directly hit when the crane came crashing down will remain vacant. Agency officials met with Department of Building Officials and the damaged building's management Tuesday to assess the situation.

An engineer still has to make sure a steel beam in the building is structurally safe as well.

Residents tell NY1 that people will eventually be let in starting on the 22nd floor and moving down to the 12th floor, one floor at a time.

Some say they are trying to be patient, but wish they knew more.

"I have no idea what's going on. As of yesterday we were allowed to go in whenever and get stuff so, I'm a little confused right now. I have no idea what's going on,” said a resident.

“Information-wise, it's not very good but I think they're doing their best. I would at least expect that the building could notify the residents. They give the updates through the building and the building notify us, but it doesn't happen. Or if they have the information they're not revealing it so I think that it's impossible that the building doesn't know how long construction will go on," said another resident.

OEM held a meeting last night for building residents at 93rd Street and First Avenue, starting at 7 p.m.

Two construction workers were killed in Friday's collapse.

The funeral for crane operator Donald Leo, 30, was held on Staten Island Tuesday. He was to have been married later this month.

"This is the job that his father got for him and he just enjoyed it. He loved doing it," said Emily Donado, another family friend. "He woke up every day looking forward to working as a crane operator."

Leo was eulogized by the woman he was supposed to marry later this month -- Janine Belcastro. The fiancee recalled how the pair met six years ago at the Jersey Shore, how their chemistry was magnetic, how the sparkle in his eye won her heart. Those inside said there was hardly a dry eye as she sobbed, saying "He was so strong and seemingly indestructible."

"Everybody was just really touched by what Belcastro had to say," said family friend Ken Stark. "I was just particularly impressed by her strength to be able to share her memories and her thoughts and her love in front of everybody. It obviously speaks to him and their relationship."

The other worker who was killed, Ramadan Kurtij, 27, is being buried in his native Albania.

"This is negligence, I am very, very angry," said Xhevahire Sinanaj, Kurtij's cousin. "I don't even have words to describe this - how angry I am. My cousin is gone, nothing can bring him back to life."

Friends say Kurtij had been working seven days a week to bring his sick parents to the United Staes for medical treatment. Sadly, both had to be hospitalized when they learned of their son's death and won't likely make the journey he had been working so hard to make possible.

The Manhattan district attorney's office and the Buildings Department are investigating the collapse. Investigators are focusing on welding in the turntable that connected the cab to the crane's tower as a possible cause for the accident.
