City owned NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) building.

1. History of very poor maintenance of NYCHA owned buildings.

2. My bet: Likely first time the gas heating was turned on, and pre-winter checking out of the heating system had not been done.

Good bet, the gas line probably went up the corner of the structure and fed out to each floor, thus the damage.

Looks like the incinerator shaft collapsed after a nat gas explosion at the base.

Nobody injured, thank God.
