The Department of Buildings issued a full stop-work order at 5005 5th Ave. following a partial wall collapse at the site.

The DOB said it will also issue multiple OATH/ECB violations to the site’s general contractor, including failure to safeguard the work site and adjacent properties, failure to immediately notify the DOB of a work site incident, and failure to maintain adequate housekeeping.

The department also issued a partial vacate order for the rear yard at 513 51st St. because of its location within a potential collapse zone.

The cause of the partial wall collapse remains under investigation.
