Punch-list items are just about all that remain to be completed in the effort to rehabilitate Pittsburgh's Liberty Bridge

More than 209,000 residential buildings would likely require retrofitting if a proposed New York City law, spurred by the Trump Tower fire, is passed.

After massive fires in Waltham, Mass. and Boston destroyed large residential complex employing wood-frame construction this summer, officials from both municipalities are questioning the safety of wood-frame construction for large apartment complexes and urging the state for stricter regulations on the size of such building.

A day before it was slated to have its fire-alarm inspection, a nearly completed 83-unit mixed-use building in Boston went up in flames.

A fire broke out Dec. 14 at a hospital tower under construction at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.

The Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation announced Friday afternoon that Pittsburgh’s fire-damaged Liberty Bridge will remain closed indefinitely as crews continue to repair 30 feet of a compression chord on a deck truss that was damaged in a Sept. 2 blaze. PennDOT, which hoped to finish the work by Monday, did not specify when the work would be done.
