People of the State of New York v. Michael Weiss, Shulem Leifer, et al.
The indictment named Shulem Leifer and Y&S Framers Inc. in two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment, related to construction work at 656 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn. Prosecutors alleged that Leifer allowed Y&S Framers’ permit and insurance credentials to be used for the project. The case followed a September 2015 wall collapse that killed one worker and injured two others.
The indictment charged other defendants—not Leifer—with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. A final disposition of the counts against Leifer was not verified in the public materials reviewed.
