“I live with a lot of pain, still, in my everyday life,” said Diana Ruiz Cabrera, who tore several ligaments in her ankle when she slipped and fell from a step ladder in February. The single mom said she was taken to an urgent care clinic, continues to receive physical therapy for her injuries and has not been able to return to work since her accident.
City records indicate site safety managers hired by the project’s general contractor notified the Buildings Department of three accidents since May 2025. But The City Reporter found nine additional worker injuries, including Ruiz Cabrera’s, for which there is no record of such notification.
Three workers said they were struck by unsecured falling objects — including one who said a jackhammer landed on him from a floor above while it was being moved. Two other workers besides Ruiz Cabrera allege they were seriously hurt in ladder falls. None of those incidents were reported to the Department of Buildings. (The contractors did not respond to The City Reporter's questions.)
“If you go to the emergency room, you’ve got to report it, if you went to CityMD, you’ve gotta report it,” said Charlene Obernauer, executive director of the advocacy group New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health. “Not doing so could result in a violation.”

5 Tips for New York ‘Solopreneurs’ to Grow Their Businesses
You’ve put in the late nights, the weekends and the hustle. And now, what started as an opportunity to make extra money has turned into an enterprise with real potential. If you handle everything on your own – logistics, production, marketing, finances and everything in between – you’re part of a growing group of entrepreneurs nicknamed “solopreneurs.”
Here are five helpful tips for you to grow your business in 2026:
Identify or solidify a business opportunity: Look for a need in New York or come up with an innovative idea. Maybe it’s a service that can help others or a product that could enhance or simplify their lives. Look for long-term demand and understand your total addressable market, not just seasonal or trendy success.
Make a business plan: Your plan doesn’t have to be long, but it should outline your mission, goals, competitive analysis, marketing approach and financial forecasts. If you’re already running a business, examine your customer base. Do you have repeat customers? Are they referring others to you? Your business may be ready for the next step.
Maximize savings to impact growth: Many entrepreneurs use some personal savings to get their businesses started but also pursue business lines of credit or small business loans to fund equipment and marketing plans. Prioritizing saving along the way will help secure the funds you need to get your business up and running.
Develop your marketing and brand strategy: Define your brand voice and value proposition and choose the right marketing channels for growth. As you set a realistic marketing budget, consider the cost of tools, advertising and outsourced services like graphic design or content writing. Start small, measure results and scale what works.
Plan for growth and operations: The logistical side of entrepreneurship includes thinking about order fulfillment, customer service, project management and scheduling. Invest in the right tools to streamline daily operations, improve customer experience and save time.
