A New York Without Patricia Lancaster

Now that New York City exists in a post-Patricia Lancaster world, anyone even remotely involved with building, construction, and architecture, are going back and looking over their facts and figures, making sure everything’s up to code. After a string of highly unfortunate incidents, including accidents that involved deaths, like the collapsing crane in March, Lancaster, the Building Commissioner for the city, decided to step down just two weeks ago and now the city is doing everything it can to make sure all is up to snuff so, for at least a little while, things appear to be running smoothly and safely again.
