Yesterday evening residents of the Malbone St. Housing complex were shocked to see a Retaining wall collapse in their back yards. The complex is located on Malbone St. which is right next to the police station between clove Rd. and New York Ave. and is lower then the houses behind them on Montgomery St. so a retention wall had been built to contain the earth from the back yards of those houses.
Recently a new construction had been underway on Montgomery St. where a parking lot was converted into condos and that construction site’s retaining wall had collapsed, dumping bricks, cement and mud into the back yard. These yards are the play grounds for the complexes children, and it’s a great miracle that no one was out there when this incident happened.
FDNY responded and secured the area and remained on scene until later in the evening to make sure nothing moved or continued to fall.
