Video shows water spewing from high rise in Hell's Kitchen
HELL'S KITCHEN, Manhattan (WABC) -- Water could be seen spewing from a high-rise building in Hell's Kitchen on Thursday morning.
Citizen App video showed a huge amount of water gushing from the building on West 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue.
According to the Department of Buildings, scheduled fire pump tests were conducted on 19th and 32nd floor of the building construction project, which included sending water out of the building.
The tests are a standard part of the new development inspection process, and do not pose a danger to the public, an official said.
They usually occur at night, but this one occurred during the day in part as most of the water was planned to land within the property boundaries, behind the construction fence, and did not require a street.
The fire pump at the new building passed inspection.
