NYC building officials have inspected 78 buildings so far since the collapse of a three-story parking garage in April.
Officials closed four NYC parking structures over safety concerns, AP reported.
They reported finding serious deterioration in garages underneath two Manhattan apartment buildings.

New York City officials are cracking down on the safety of parking garages after the collapse of a nearly 100-year-old structure left one dead earlier this month.
