I have been looking for this ever since the collapse happened in 2022. Not sure why the penalty amounts are $0, and there seems to be some kind of settlement.
When the collapse happened, an engineer friend of mine said,
“Bet you they have not been doing inspections, because if you inspect the crane properly, these things don’t happen.”
Sure enough, sloppy safety checks. The company is lucky no one died.
I also find it ironic that the developer teamed up with OSHA to make this a partnership with the project for worker safety. Probably won’t be getting that partnership again anytime soon.

I don’t know why, but right now I’m having flashbacks to a once load-bearing wall.
AND, why the partnership in ’23 after the incident happened in ’22?
If you accidentally fired off a gun, but then a year later were asked to be a part of a gun safety program, wouldn’t that be like having one of your cranes collapse, but then a year later you become a part of a partnership agreement? #DontDoWhatIDid #ScaredStraight
