A crane collapsed in Manhattan on July 26, 2023, injuring 12 people, including three firefighters, after a fire ignited by hydraulic fluid caused the crane's boom to fall onto 10th Avenue.

The New York City Department of Buildings' investigation revealed that the crane was lifting 14,000 pounds of concrete when the fire started due to a hydraulic hose issue.

The incident led to new safety regulations for diesel-powered tower cranes, including enhanced inspections and the mandatory installation of fire detection and suppression systems. Violations were issued to the contractor and crane operator for inadequate safety measures.

New York City's Department of Buildings released its report on the crane that collapsed in 2023. According to the report, the crane was lifting around 14,000 pounds of concrete when a hydraulic hose likely loosened or disconnected. The leaking fluid ignited after being sprayed onto a hot engine component, igniting the fire.

The fire weakened the rope supporting the crane’s boom, causing it to drop several hundred feet to the street, according to the report.

Following the investigation, the DOB announced new rules for diesel-powered tower cranes, including:

- Enhanced leak inspection requirements
- Mandatory built-in fire detection systems
- Automatic fire-suppression systems.

Investigators reportedly found the crane model had two similar fires in 2012 and 2016 in Australia, leading the manufacturer to recommend stronger leak inspections and built-in fire detection and suppression systems. Those features were not installed on the crane involved in the 2023 collapse, according to the report.

City officials say those measures are now being made mandatory and licensing rules for smaller lifting equipment are being tightened.

The DOB issued several violations to the contractor and crane operator for weak safety measures.
