••• Regarding the deadly 2016 crane collapse on Worth Street: “Judge Ingrid Addison’s 68-page decision, issued this week, lays the onus for the disaster on the crane’s operator, Kevin Reilly, and approved yanking his license. Addison also faulted Department of Buildings inspectors for approving a crane stowage plan that would have knocked the crane’s arm into a building if strictly followed, and ripped the DOB’s argument that it is not responsible for ensuring plans are safe for New Yorkers as ‘counter to its profile and mission.'” —New York Post

••• The building with Azabu in the basement, 428 Greenwich, showed up in Archinect‘s project database, and I think it’s new.

••• Evidently this is part of the Tribeca Film Festival: “Families can catch up with Count Dracula’s lavish resort that’s featured in the 2012 animated film [Hotel Transylvania]. In addition to the free screening, there will be a Transylvania dance party, costume parade and trivia contest for kids. April 22, 10 a.m., BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, 199 Chambers.” This is also marketing for Hotel Transylvania 3, due out this summer. —New York Post
