The Sky is Falling

The Blame Game

On December 17, 2019, Erica Tishman, a New York City architect, wife and mother of three, was walking through Times Square on her way to work when she was killed after being struck by a piece of masonry that had fallen off a 17-story building. Shockingly, eight months earlier, the very same building had been issued a violation by New York City's Department of Buildings for "damaged terra cotta at areas above the 15th floor in several locations” and which represented a falling hazard risk for pedestrians.
In this episode of the Blame Game, we explore who's potentially responsible for this tragedy and the damages recoverable by Ms. Tishman's estate.
