The construction site, with two open safety violations, is under investigation as the Department of Buildings seeks to determine the cause of the incident.

Five people were injured when a boom truck collapsed at a construction site in Inwood, Manhattan, with one person suffering serious injuries.
The incident occurred at 3880 Ninth Ave., a site for a 17-story building under construction.
The construction site has two open violations from last month when a construction worker was injured.
The construction company, On Star Management LLC, is under investigation for failing to communicate required safety information.
