New York City Crane & Equipment Corp. was founded and operated by controversial businessman James Lomma.

Wednesday — injuring six people — was founded by a shady construction magnate and self-proclaimed “King of Cranes” whose machines were involved in two deadly incidents more than a decade ago.

Lomma’s company first made headlines in 2008, when two of its cranes collapsed and killed nine people in just two months.

Then-DOB commissioner Patricia Lancaster, however, quickly concluded that a proper inspection would not have prevented the collapse because the crane had moved position in the intervening days, the outlet noted.
