The city signed off on deep excavation plans for the Brooklyn construction site being eyed as the potential cause of this week’s deadly building collapse — even though it lacked key structural support, The Post has learned. The Department of Buildings approved the allegedly shoddy plans in March for the excavation of the lot at 2625 Bedford Ave, where a developer was set to build a three-floor, 25,000-square-foot mixed-use building. Records show the plans provided extensive and sophisticated shoring and bracing along the majority of the lot, including the backyard of 1321 Flatbush Ave.
