Company Cited After Woman Hit By Falling Metal In North End

BOSTON — The company working on the roof of the building where a metal railing fell and seriously injured a woman Thursday will have to stop working, the Boston Herald reported first. The Inspectional Services Department of Boston issued several violations and a stop-work order to Corolla Contracting, according to several reports.

The company, of Winthrop, had been working at 47 Commercial Wharf East in the North End when a crane apparently dislodged a metal railing atop the building. It fell and hit a woman walking below it. She was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries, Patch reported previously.

The company, which had a permit to work on the roof, was doing extra work on the building that it didn't have the right permits for and failed to properly contain its worksite, an ISD spokeswoman told reporters Friday.

“These violations led to the operation of an unsafe and dangerous worksite,” the department told the Boston Herald.
