· A CurbedWire update of yesterday's trench collapse in Park Slope where two brothers were injured. NY1 reports that "the city buildings department has slapped a stop work order on the construction site," adding, "owner and contractor Andrew Feinman also faces violations for failing to secure the site, demolishing without a permit, and performing work that wasn't approved."
