A Midtown high-rise that suffered structural damage was stable for now, New York City’s buildings commissioner said, but he warned of tense days ahead.

The developer of a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper evacuated after its support beams began buckling has described the incident as a “freak accident,” as he looked to deny that the building was at risk of collapse.

Crews say they've stabilized a Midtown high-rise after several upper-floor columns buckled, showing signs of potential collapse.

Buckling columns on a Midtown tower forced evacuations and street closures as city crews investigated the structural failure.

The Midtown high-rise that dangerously buckled Tuesday will need to be partially demolished — although stabilizing it to even attempt the risky move could prove extremely harrowing, experts told The Post.

But the high-profile nature of the development itself, as the largest ongoing office-to-residential conversion in the U.S. with the addition of 11 new stories, takes the implications beyond just liability and insurance.

Emergency evacuations took place at the former Pfizer building in Manhattan.

Work began Tuesday night to shore up the failed columns on the project converting a commercial office building to apartments, said the city’s Department of Buildings commissioner.

Several buildings in Midtown Manhattan were evacuated Tuesday morning after officials discovered buckling support beams in a former office building that is being converted to residences.
