New York City investigators are looking into whether anything criminal contributed to the collapse of a building in Brooklyn, according to a CBS News video report. The summary of that report does not describe any conclusions reached so far.
A separate account from Fox News report on the probe's questions says the investigation has raised questions about the violation history of a neighboring property owner. According to that outlet, N Tech Design of America defied a New York City stop-work order months before the Brooklyn collapse. The Fox News summary characterizes the company's conduct as defiance of that order. The summary does not state whether N Tech Design of America is the neighboring property owner whose record is under question.
Fox News said the collapse killed eight people and that the stop-work order predated it by months. Neither summary states what caused the collapse, and neither says whether any charges have been filed. The two outlets differ in emphasis: CBS News focused on the criminal inquiry, while Fox News focused on the stop-work order and the neighboring owner's violation history.
Neither CBS News nor Fox News reports whether the criminal question and the stop-work order are connected. The summaries also do not give further detail on the investigation's findings or on the timing of the order beyond the months cited by Fox News.
