Work resumes at Goldman Sachs tower

The city allowed construction to
resume yesterday at the Goldman Sachs headquarters in Battery Park
City. Crews had been barred from working on the site since April 1 when
a hammer fell 17 stories from the unfinished 43-story tower, smashing
the rear window of a taxi. According to Tishman Construction
executives, the hammer fell from a carpenter’s tool belt and passed
through a three-inch opening between the hoist elevator car the worker
was in and the building. The Department of Buildings lifted its
stop-work order after inspectors were satisfied the company had
fulfilled its promise to add more safeguards.
