The lobby staff members who closed the door to a Manhattan apartment building last week without taking immediate action after a Filipino-American woman was brutally attacked on the street outside have been fired, the building's owners told residents in an email on Tuesday.
Rick Mason, the executive director of management at the Brodsky Organization, which owns the luxury apartment building in Midtown, told residents of all the organization's buildings in an email that two staff members who were inside the building lobby at the time had not followed "required emergency and safety protocols."
"For this reason, their employment has been terminated, effective immediately," Mr. Mason's email said.
He did not identify the employees by name, and a spokeswoman did not specify the protocols that staff members had not followed.
