Bronx cleanup crews are still cleaning up the damage in parts of the borough left behind from the overnight rain and wind.
West Farms residents woke up to find part of the six-story scaffolding from the construction at 1879 Clinton Avenue had collapsed.
The FDNY reports they received the call at around 6:45 a.m. Nobody was hurt when it came down around.
The fire department says they checked out the rest of the scaffolding and says it appears to be stable. The city's Department of Buildings currently lists an open violation on the scaffolding saying it doesn't match up with the approved construction documents that were submitted.
News 12 reached out to the construction company that's listed on the open violation, FGPH Corp. for comment, but they have yet to respond.
