Staircase collapses at 5 Pointz

5-pointz-collapse

An exterior staircase at Long Island City’s famed 5 Pointz building collapsed yesterday as a woman was walking over it. The building is well-known because of the extensive graffiti covering just about every square inch of the building (inside and out).

I’ve walked up those stairs a couple of times before and I never in a million years would think that they’d be unstable. Maybe the fluctuating weather is to blame?

NY1 says the building has been temporarily closed until further inspection.
