The Buildings Department is ordering some renovations to a Queens art studio, days after its staircase collapsed – burying a woman in the rubble.
A 20-foot section of the stairwell at the Five Pointz Artist Studio in Long Island City collapsed on Friday.
Before the building can reopen, the DOB says the owner has to install sidewalk sheds and remove loose concrete.
Four violations were issued, two for failing to maintain the building and two for occupancy violations.
