An Upper West Side co-op just found the same bacteria in its own pipes, and most city landlords still haven't run the test the law requires.
City health officials reported 56 confirmed Legionnaires' cases as of Saturday in the Carnegie Hill, Yorkville, and Lenox Hill outbreak, with 16 people hospitalized and no deaths [51]. Separately, owners of The Ardsley co-op at 320 Central Park West on the Upper West Side independently tested their hot water system and found Legionella, though health officials say the two situations are unconnected [51]. The city has flagged 31 buildings, including the Guggenheim Museum and a Whole Foods, whose cooling towers preliminarily tested positive [51].
“The NYC Health Department has been made aware of an Upper West Side building owner independently testing their building's hot water system for Legionella bacteria. This has nothing to do with the ongoing investigation on the Upper East Side.”
“We are writing to inform you that recent testing detected Legionella in samples collected from the building's domestic hot water system.”
A 21-story sag now wears a giant net while the developer calls investors to insist the largest apartment conversion in the country is still on schedule.
Crews worked in shifts around the clock over the weekend to install new supports at 235 East 42nd Street, the former Pfizer headquarters, where columns buckled last Tuesday beneath newly added floors [41]. The Department of Buildings hung exterior netting on the tower's north side to catch falling debris [41]. Vacate orders remain in effect for nearby buildings, and East 43rd Street stayed closed between Second and Third Avenues [41]. The site is now the country's largest office-to-residential conversion, with 1,600 apartments planned [41].
“We've issued multiple orders to stabilize the building, provide continuous monitoring operations throughout, create engineering reports confirming the safety of the building, hiring a third-party engineering consultant and special inspection agencies to oversee the work separate from the existing crew.”
New York has tried to fix Brooklyn's busiest bus route since 1951; this round comes with paint, not steel.
Mayor Mamdani and the MTA's new citywide bus plan named Utica Avenue, Brooklyn's busiest corridor at more than 40,000 daily riders, as one of five streets targeted for bus rapid transit with dedicated center lanes [45]. The B46 currently crawls at 6.9 mph, slowed by double-parked delivery trucks, Ubers, and dollar vans [45]. The city transportation department and the MTA say they "will study options for rapid bus investments" on Utica Avenue but have not committed to a timeline [45].
“You die under the storm waiting for the bus.”
“It's New York, it ain't gonna never happen.”
Midtown went full Versailles on Sunday, when L'Alliance New York held the city's first Bastille Day Dog Parade on Madison Avenue: a chihuahua named Liberty, dressed as the Statue of Liberty, took best in show over dogs done up as Marie Antoinette, a baker with a baguette, and a full feathered showgirl headdress [32]. A French revolution, celebrated a block from the diamond district by dressing terriers as this city's own monuments: absurd, and completely sincere about it.
