A major construction project in Manhattan has hit a roadblock as inspectors have issued a stop-work order at a planned 32-story apartment tower. The move comes after a recent incident in which the former Pfizer headquarters building nearby buckled, sparking concerns about the structural integrity of nearby buildings. The stop-work order is part of a broader effort to conduct safety sweeps and assess the potential risks posed by the Pfizer building's collapse. As the city scrambles to address the crisis, residents and developers alike are left wondering if the construction of the high-rise tower can proceed safely.
