New York City inspectors uncovered multiple safety violations at a Brooklyn construction site months before an adjacent three-story building collapsed, killing eight people and injuring 19 others, raising new questions about whether earlier enforcement actions could have prevented Wednesday's disaster. According to city records cited by the New York Post, inspectors issued violations at the construction site next to 1321 Flatbush Ave. in March and April, including findings that demolition work had continued despite a city-issued stop-work order.
