NYC Buildings Department receives complaint of basement collapse on August 26, 2008, and that building was leaning [1], a buildings inspector found no evidence of collapse. Several steel support beams were placed to shore up building. On September 18, 2008 a full vacate order was served due to building "shifting" into the vacant lot next door. [2]

Demolition began quickly.

In this photo you can see the large gap between this building and the gray building next door, evidence of building leaning into the vacant lot.
