That violation is now listed as resolved, and the violation notice does not state why the city issued a stop work order in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>DOB officials say plans had been approved for the construction of a three-story building at the site, and excavation work was happening prior to the collapse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When that happens at a construction site, when you&#8217;re actually digging down very deep into the ground next to an existing building, that can often present a lot of precarious problems of destabilizing an existing building, and if proper precautions aren&#8217;t taken, sometimes this is what happens,&#8221; said Glenn Corbett, an associate professor of fire science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.<\/p>\n<p>It was unclear if that work had anything to do with Wednesday&#8217;s collapse.<\/p>\n<p>The Brooklyn District Attorney says his office is working with the DOB and law enforcement to determine if any criminal conduct contributed to the collapse.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay with CBS News New York for the latest on this developing story.<\/em><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>
