Queens building owner issued violation after facade collapse injures 3
New York City Department of Buildings inspectors have issued a violation to the owner of a Queens building after a furniture store's facade collapsed in Queens, injuring three people. Residents in the Bellerose neighborhood are in disbelief after the facade collapse on Jericho Turnpike. Some 175 linear feet of the parapet wall came down onto the sidewalk and street below, the DOB said. So far, the cause of the collapse is not known. Inspectors issued what's called an OATH/ECB violation to the property owner for "failure to maintain the building," according to the DOB. They ordered the building owner to construct a tight board fence in front of the property to protect the public. A complaint in June said the building wasn't up to date, and there were holes in the ceiling and floor. It's not clear if that's connected to Wednesday's collapse. "I just opened the store two weeks ago, and this thing happened," Plaza Furniture owner Billy Rashid said. Rashid's facade fell on three people, including two children. Cars parked next to the building were crushed. At least five businesses on Jericho Turnpike between 245th and 246th Streets have been given vacate orders. "I stopped at the light down there, heard a loud boom, I looked behind me all I saw was smoke in the air and people running toward the building," witness Victoria Craig said. The three people hurt in the collapse were hospitalized in stable condition.

California utility creates fund for victims of January's deadly Eaton Fire near LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California Edison announced this week that it will create a fund to compensate victims of January's devastating Eaton Fire near Los Angeles. Investigators haven't yet determined a cause for the blaze that killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,400 homes and other structures in Altadena. The creation of the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program seems to suggest that the utility is prepared to acknowledge what several lawsuits claim: that its equipmentsparked the conflagration. 'Even though the details of how the Eaton Fire started are still being evaluated, SCE will offer an expedited process to pay and resolve claims fairly and promptly,' Pedro Pizarro, chief executive of Edison International, the utility's parent company, said in a statement Wednesday. 'This allows the community to focus more on recovery instead of lengthy, expensive litigation.' It is not clear how much money the utility will contribute to the fund, but a lawsuit filed by Los Angeles County in March claims that costs and damage estimates were expected to total hundreds of millions of dollars. SCE said the compensation program, which will go into effect this fall, would be open to those who lost homes, rental properties or businesses. It would also cover those who suffered injuries, were harmed by smoke or had family members who were killed. The plan is being created by administrators who helped form similar programs, including the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001. LA County previously won more than $64 million in a settlement with Southern California Edison over the 2018 Woolsey Fire. Investigators determined SCE's equipment sparked that blaze, and the utility also paid more than $2 billion to settle related insurance claims. Utility equipment has sparked some of the deadliest and most destructive fires in state history in recent years. Investigators are also working to determine the cause of the Palisades Fire, which broke out shortly before the Eaton Fire and killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of structures in Los Angeles.
