Overview

• The 15-by-20-foot marquee from the former Hotel St. George collapsed just after 7 a.m. Sunday at the Clark Street station’s Henry Street entrance.
• FDNY confirmed there were no injuries and the MTA has suspended 2 and 3 train stops at the station pending safety checks.
• New York City Department of Buildings officials reported severe corrosion in the marquee’s steel supports and have begun inspecting similar structures.
• Councilmember Lincoln Restler is demanding comprehensive station upgrades and accountability from the private landlord following the collapse.
• Despite elevators to the platforms, wheelchair users still cannot access the station because stairs connect the mezzanine to the trains.
