Huang project kills worker, injures 3 others


From NY1:

One construction worker was killed and three were seriously injured this morning when a wall collapsed on a construction site in Queens.

Police officials say a one-story brick wall partially collapsed at 8418 Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst, trapping the workers.

The victims were transported to nearby Elmhurst Hospital, where one was pronounced dead.

The New York City Police Department says the other victims have been listed in stable condition.

According to the Department of Buildings, a five-story building was being constructed at the site. It was in its preliminary stages and was set to feature a storefront on the bottom and residential above.

Sources say improper work was being done.


Sources also say this is a Tommy Huang project... or perhaps his son...

When will the DOB finally banish the Huangs from doing business in this city? A nice fat lawsuit from the victim's relatives should teach them a lesson.

His workers were just on TV translating for each other and wouldnt give their names. It looked like every one of them was illegal.
How can Huang stick it to evebody in sight and keep getting away with all this stuff ?

Welcome to Bloomberg's New York!

No DOB will not do there job, ditto city council -- that might be bad for pay-offs, campaign donations, kick backs.


The death toll under Bloomberg may be a record breaker.


Didn't Quinn dismiss massive DOB and ECB fines?
Thanks

So that is why I heard a helicopter this morning around that time.

NY Post:

H Rock General Contractors was issued a permit in August 2009 to build a five-story building at the location, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Buildings.

Relax. Don't worry, folks. The Queensborough President Helen "I love shrimp" Marshall will launch an investigation.

Non union and unskilled! Haung gets away with it because he puts the company under different family members. Comptroller Liu is a relative too!

Someone needs to inspect that monstrosity on the other side of Queens Blvd-- where a fire gutted that block 4 years ago.

And where's your proof that they are related? Takes one to know one! JERK!

But on a related note, I've only heard about TOmmy Huang's bad reputation through his purchase of RKO and a Fresh Meadows farm; other than that why else does he have such a bad rap? Are his business transactions/activities illegal or something? I was born in the 90's so I don't fully understand much abotu the controversy surrounding this guy.

This is an epidemic in Queens. We had a few buildings collapse in Astoria and Harlem, just across the river.

Apparently, it will be like it was in the South Bronx in the 1970s when buildings fall instead of leaves.

God rest the departed, it could have been me too but for the grace of a timely departure from my own apartment.

Isn't this the project next to the Firehouse which has been stopped for many years? I wonder who release the stop work order. Time for the FBI to step in....

Huang damaged the adjacent Firehouse's structure few years ago. I believe it is not settle in the court yet.

Please note that I was nearly killed by a ceiling intentionally collapsed on me and the downstairs neighbor had same done to him. He is still living with holes in his bathroom floor, a ceiling held up by two-by-fours propped up (why the landlord was foiled in his attempt) and no heat.

In attempt to remedy this, the Queens DA and Internal Affairs of the Building Department, as well as DHCR, HPD, and Dob were all notified.

Nothing was done. The building was sold to another, and my own apartment was repaired, but my downstairs neighbors live in squalor and are being sued for a fictitious amount of back rent (they are current in their actual rent.)

Why not ask Jimmy Meng if Liu & Huang are related?

The whole Asian community knows this to be true but dare not speak out...as we've heard it from many prominent Oriental citizens of F-LIU-xhing...or is it Huang Kong?

The Flushing Phantom said...

Based upon his continuing criminal disregard for the law when it comes to his building projects...
Councilwoman Harrison once requested that Tommy Huang be declared a "public nuisance" under New York State statutes.

Albany declined, however.

Why?

Maybe the RKO Keith's destroyer is hooked up good in the state capitol as well as NYC ?

Anonymous said...

At this point in time perhaps the whole damn Huang family should be declared a "public menace"!

It looks as if the Oriental trolls are busy counter-posting their defenses.

Is that you Henry Huang?

Finding a good defense attorney would seem to be the next logical step.

Anonymous said...

The Huangs are known as the "Teflon" builders.

Jail sentences just roll off their backs like water off of a duck's.

You'll never see a serious conviction emerge from this case.

Don't they own some judges as well?

Well maybe this time the luck of this duck will run out and he'll be served up to the penal system like a nice dish of wor shu op!

We live in hope.

Hey...how old is Huang's daughter "Tiffany" by now?

And what does Bloomberg have to say about this? Oh, I forgot he doesn't
even know where Elmhurst, Queens is.

Anonymous said...

All projects in Elmhurst currently under construction are being performed by laborers who have no experience and not following NYC laws in safety practices. NYC shut down these sites - sue the contractor and owners!

on the dob website first class construction from bayside is listed as a contractor these people are dangerous they undermined my commercial building on grand ave a few years ago almost killing people in the building. hen i told them to stop thee work they are are undermining my foundation they told me to **** off i called the dob they came out and did nothing cause nobody was working on the site next to my building the next day my building collapsed and i was displaced from my business for over a year the reason this person died is because of the dob for not doing there job plain and simple .

It probably has nothing to do with Vera consturction which is a demolition contractor. The DOB website shows the demo has been signed off already and the accident is caused by the collaps of new masonry wall. The Engineer whoever is doing the control insp;ection will be responsible for it.

it's a fact that the dirt bag haung flips his propeties under his relatives business names becaused he's always being sued! just asked the folks in bayside near the cross island parkway who are suing his ass. he's building in maspeth under VERA construction and we make his life a living hell. haung and his dirtbag family need to go back to their over crowded country and stay the fxxk out of america! look whats happening to main street. PIGS!

Actualy moron was an understatement.
Idiot is more appropriate, check your community college/GED notes...
YOU CANNNOT PROVE A NEGATIVE !!!
You cannot prove they are NOT related.
Why don't you enlighten us with
your unemployed/moronic proof that they ( Huang - Liu ) are actualy related, idiot.
