Engineering experts informed NBC News that an extensive investigation concluded that necessary repairs, expected to take several months, will eventually allow a halted office-to-apartment building project to continue. This project is housed in the former Pfizer headquarters in New York City.

On Wednesday, officials declared the building stable following an evacuation order affecting several blocks around the Midtown Manhattan construction site. At the same time, emergency repairs have started to secure the area.

Despite these developments, many residents and local employees remain unsure about the steps they need to take next as the situation continues to unfold.

The evacuation and subsequent actions come in response to safety concerns raised around the construction site in a prevalent business district. This incident has highlighted the potential risks involved in urban redevelopment projects.
