New Jail Site Rained Debris on Downtown Brooklyn Amid Worker Injuries
A construction worker at Brooklyn's new jail site was injured and underreported by Tutor Perini, the general contractor, leading to safety violations. Debris from the site has repeatedly fallen on nearby buildings and sidewalks, with a pedestrian walkway collapsing onto a motorcyclist. The project, part of a plan to replace Rikers Island, faces scrutiny over unreported incidents and public safety risks.
