Building Near Explosion Site Expected to Reopen Monday
WNYC Newsroom
NEW YORK, NY July 28, 2007 —One of the three midtown office buildings still closed because of last week's steam pipe explosion is expected to open Monday.
REPORTER: The Chanin Building at 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue houses about 140 companies. Most will be able to return, but not all. Building spokesman Brian Maddox says some spaces suffered substantial damage and need special treatment.
MADDOX: We have one space where the steam and the debris came in so forcefully that saturated acoustical ceiling tiles and deposited all sorts of grit and gravel all over the office space, not to mention the shards of glass.
REPORTER: The offices at 370 Lexington are still closed and aren't expected to open for another two or three weeks. Businesses have suffered millions of dollars in losses because of the explosion. Those companies are now eligible for low-interest loans from the federal Small Business Administration.
