In recent years, with an increase in construction and demolition across the city, New York has witnessed several unfortunate losses of historic structures due to improper stabilization and shoring. Understanding the unique circumstances surrounding the structural make-up of historic buildings and how to properly undertake shoring for these buildings is crucial to their continued preservation.
