Updated, 6:09 p.m. | A judge fined the Bloomberg administration $5,000 Tuesday for repeatedly ignoring court orders to provide the families of two construction workers who died in a fatal 2008 crane collapse with documents, e-mail messages and other information concerning equipment inspected by the city.
The families of the two workers — Donald C. Leo and Ramadan Kurtaj — filed lawsuits against the crane company, its owner, the city’s Buildings Department and others alleging negligence and corruption in connection with a crane that collapsed on East 91st Street in May 2008.
