According to surveyors at the site, 217 Court Street?the Cobble Hill building that suffered a partial roof collapse early yesterday morning?will have to be torn down. Lost City describes the scene: "The yellow cordoning tape was up, the construction workers at the ready, the crane on site, the surveyors surveying and dozens of locals were gawking outside the Coffee Peddlar early this morning (including actress Hope Davis!), all to await the fate of 217 Court Street, the vacant building in Cobble Hill that partially collapsed yesterday. A section of Court Street was blocked off by police, causing horrendous traffic." [Lost City; previously]
