Illegal Converstion Caused Fire in Bensonhurst
Loudlabs NYC
There was a three alarm fire last night in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. Firefighters worked for hours to put the fire out in these two homes. It was windy last night and that made it a lot worse. More videos here.
Thankfully, no people were hurt – 29 people from seven homes were displaced. There was an illegal conversion in the attic, complete with illegal gas plumbing. (Source)
Below is a video taken today of 1948 85th Street – after the fire.
The news and the man taking the video below said that 25-30 people are said to be displaced. Hmm how come do 25-30 people live in these homes? Is it a large family or is this a home that has been altered?
