Dozens of New Yorkers have been forced from buildings near the deadly Flatbush collapse Thursday as the city worked to make sure their homes won’t fall down too. Residents of three neighboring buildings were given a vacate order after 1321 Flatbush Avenue collapsed in Brooklyn Wednesday, killing at least eight people and injuring nearly two dozen others. The vacated properties–1323, 1325 and 1327 Flatbush Avenue–stand along the same row as the collapsed building.
