STB attorney ordered to talk about 22nd and Market collapse
As the two-year anniversary of the building collapse at 22nd and Market approaches, attorneys for the victims are still working on interviewing everyone involved in the civil case. On Tuesday, Common Pleas Court Judge Mark Bernstein issued an order forcing Joel Oshtry, the attorney for STB Investments Corp, which owns the properties on 2100 of Market Street that were set to be demolished, to comply with a deposition request.
Six people were killed and several were injured on June 5, 2013 when a wall collapsed onto the Salvation Army Thrift Store. The wall that fell was from the adjacent building, owned by STB Investments, that was in the middle of what has been described as an unsafe and dangerous demolition. Both civil and criminal cases are pending in court.
