Five Out of the Six Basement Apartments Where People Died Were Illegal Conversions
We’ve known for a long time that illegally converted basement apartments are not safe. Ten of the Thirteen people who died from drowing in their apartment were in an illegal conversion. (See here)
Can you imagine how horrible it had to be to find neighbors who drowned in their home?
NYC refused to do anything about the illegal apartments. Politicians in our area ran for office saying they would fight against the illegal apartments, but didn’t.
Leticia James is the only politician who I have seen respond to this disaster appropriately.
