BROOKLYN, NY
A construction
worker is dead after plunging more than 50 feet from a building under
construction at the corner of Neptune Avenue and Brighton Third Street on April
1.
Vidal Sanchez-Roman
of Coney Island fell from the six-story structure in Brighton Beach just before
11:30 am, and paramedics later pronounced him dead on the scene, Fire
Department officials said.
Staten Island
contractors VDA Construction Corporation are erecting the building — a planned
community center — for developer Sam Shpelfogel, Department of Buildings
filings indicate.
A man who answered
the phone at Shpelfogel’s office declined to comment and refused to give his
name.
No one answered the
phone at the number VDA Construction has listed with the Department of
Buildings.
The contractors have
valid general liability, worker’s compensation, and disability insurance, according to city records.
