New York City Crane & Equipment Corp. was founded and operated by controversial businessman James Lomma.
Wednesday — injuring six people — was founded by a shady construction magnate and self-proclaimed “King of Cranes” whose machines were involved in two deadly incidents more than a decade ago.
Lomma’s company first made headlines in 2008, when two of its cranes collapsed and killed nine people in just two months. Five days after the tragedy, the inspector who had cleared the site to continue work after the complaint was found to have lied about examining the equipment,. Then-DOB commissioner Patricia Lancaster, however, quickly concluded that a proper inspection would not have prevented the collapse because the crane had moved position in the intervening days, the outlet noted.
