Residents and hotel guests are being let onto cordoned off Manhattan streets, after columns buckled and floors sagged at an under-construction apartment building, triggering widespread evacuations and street closures over concerns about a collapse. Crews worked through the night to shore up a massive development at the site of the former headquarters of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed Wednesday that there had been no additional movement in the building since it was deemed stable late Tuesday night. But he said four area buildings remain under full evacuation orders. Some normally busy midtown streets also remain closed.

An under-construction Manhattan high-rise at risk of collapse after columns buckled has been stabilized and some evacuations of nearby buildings have been lifted. The commissioner of the New York City Department of Buildings says the building hasn't moved since they started monitoring it earlier Tuesday. The building is a former Pfizer headquarters and is being converted to luxury apartments. Nearby buildings, including a school, had been evacuated earlier Tuesday. Builders say the 37-story tower is part of the city’s largest office-to-residential conversion project, with over 1,600 planned units.
