Three people died in the November 2021 blaze in Harlem.
Tenants in a Harlem, New York, building where a deadly fire last November killed three people filed a lawsuit against their landlord and property manager for failing to start repairs on the building.
In the lawsuit, tenants claimed some fire alarms, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in common areas, and individual apartments were not working and failed to alert residents of smoke in the building. Tilyayeva said tenants are legally entitled to withhold and set aside rent payments until repairs and essential services are provided.
Tenants claim there were defective fire doors, inoperable or missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in units and the hallway, defective or obstructed fire escapes, defective fire windows, combustible material stored by the gas meter and lack of fire-retardant material throughout the entire building, according to the lawsuit.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, but tenants said the conditions in the building contributed to its spread and have come together to get push their landlord to repair the damage in the building, according to NYC legal services.
