Description

New York City has suspended engineer Richard Koenigsberg from conducting building inspections for two years after his poor workmanship that contributed to a building collapse in the Bronx. Meanwhile, a federal monitor overseeing New York City's public housing system says thousands of units are sitting empty during a citywide affordability crisis due to bureaucratic delays. Plus, police are investigating a northbound F train hitting and killing a man at the West 4th Street station. Finally, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral has faced criticism for hosting the funeral of Cecilia Gentili, a transgender rights activist and former sex worker, which drew over a thousand attendees. WNYC’s Michael Hill talks with New York Times reporter Liam Stack who’s been following the story.
