Jennifer Rosoff plunges to death on first date in New York (by EssizChannel35)
- The death of Jennifer Rosoff, 35, whom a friend described as “an A-player” in the competitive world of media advertising sales, immediately rippled across cellphones and inboxes of distraught friends and colleagues.
- The Department of Buildings immediately issued an order barring all other residents of the building from going onto their balconies, which the department characterized as “imminently perilous to life.” A department spokeswoman said inspectors were still investigating the reason for the collapse.
- After a deadly fall from a Midtown balcony in 2010, the Buildings Department began an extensive round of safety reviews and found that hundreds of building owners had failed to file required inspection reports on their balconies. Residents of more than a dozen buildings were then ordered to stop using their balconies because of safety concerns.
- That round of intensive scrutiny by the department followed the death of Connor Donohue, 24, who fell from a 24th-floor balcony in March 2010. The department found in that case that the company that managed the building had not filed a proper inspection report in 10 years.
- The department said an inspection report had been filed for Rosoff’s building in February, several months late; the company incurred a $250 penalty. A Stonehenge representative declined to comment Thursday.
