Firefighters responded to the Essex Crossing construction site on Clinton Street yesterday afternoon after pieces of concrete came showering down on a parked car. While a man was inside the black minivan, he was not injured.
A spokesperson for Delancey Street Associates, the development consortium, tells us the incident was related to a concrete pump malfunction. At the time, crews were working to pour the fourth floor slab at 175 Delancey St., known as site 6 of the large residential and commercial project.
According to the spokesperson, “There were no injuries and our site safety manager promptly reported the issue to the Department of Buildings. We conduct ongoing training as part of our work at the site and will continue to reinforce our safety protocol with each of our workers.”
A photo published by DNA Info showed damage to the sunroof of the car. The incident was logged on the Department of Buildings website.
