A new child victim loses his life due to insecurity in the windows of his homes. At just 4 years old, a boy died Monday after falling from the fourth floor of a Brooklyn building.
According to the report of the New York Police Department (NYPD), the unfortunate incident occurred at 2:50 in the afternoon, at 3301 Farragut Road, at 1477 New York Avenue.
The boy was taken in severe condition to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The fall of the minor was an accident, but the Police continue to investigate
Our reporter Yeila Lluberes, from Univisión 41, went to East Flastbush and told that the boy’s family is heartbroken after this tragedy.
He explained that the little boy fell out of the window of the apartment that overlooks an alley. By 6:00 p.m., a pool of blood was still visible where the impact occurred.
The New York Police continues to investigate, but believes that it was an accident and not a criminal act.

Measures to prevent accidents from the windows of buildings
In homes with children ages 10 and under, tenants must:
Inform the building owner and complete the annual notice provided by the owner. Allow the building owner or a representative access to the dwelling to install window guards that prevent windows from opening more than 4½ inches. Never alter or remove window guards once installed. Fly screens are not a substitute for window guards. Do not leave a child alone in a room with open windows until window guards or limiting devices are properly installed. If a building owner refuses to install window guards, tenants should call 311 to file a complaint with HPD. Building owners can also call 311 to report tenants who refuse to allow guards to be installed as required by law.
