The city says its cooling-tower crackdown stopped the outbreak from spreading further; it didn't stop it from killing a second New Yorker.
NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin announced a second death Saturday in the Legionnaires' disease cluster centered on Carnegie Hill and Yorkville, a day after the first [18][21]. Confirmed cases reached 72, with 9 people still hospitalized, though new daily cases have slowed sharply since mid-July [21]. The bacteria turned up in 76 cooling towers across the neighborhood, including ones atop the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim, and the city says every flagged building has now disinfected its system [18].
“We are heartbroken to learn that another New Yorker has lost their life to Legionnaires' disease on the Upper East Side. Our deepest condolences are with their loved ones as they grieve.”
“Our aggressive strategy of testing, enforcement, and remediation appears to have stopped the source of exposure.”
GothamistA mayor who promised to freeze the rent now wants to decide, building by building, which landlords deserve to keep collecting it.
Mayor Mamdani unveiled a 67-page Rental Ripoff Report at the Tenement Museum Thursday, dividing landlords into "high-road" owners and "low-road" ones who "speculate on critical housing infrastructure" through evictions and disinvestment [10]. The report's 23 initiatives range from a 311 text-blast for inspections to expanded city lien authority over mold violations, but most need City Council approval or new rulemaking [9]. Housing chief Cea Weaver says her office has opened talks with Council Member Pierina Sanchez, who chairs the Housing and Buildings Committee [9].
“There are other aspects of this report that can begin immediately.”
“We've begun productive conversations with Council member Sanchez, who is, of course, the chair of the Housing and Buildings Committee.”
Soho went underwater in the time it takes to watch a soccer half, and the storm still had a second act coming Sunday.
Severe thunderstorms dropped up to 3 inches of rain in an hour Saturday, flooding Soho, shutting down LaGuardia, JFK and Newark, and blocking the BQE, LIE and Clearview Expressway, while water poured onto the tracks at the Jay Street and 59th Street subway stations [22][23][19]. NYC Emergency Management activated its Flash Flood Emergency Plan and Mayor Mamdani put crews on standby; Govs. Hochul and Sherrill both urged residents to stay off flooded roads [22]. The storms hit hours before Sunday's World Cup final at MetLife Stadium and pushed Saturday's Yankees-Dodgers game into a Sunday doubleheader [42].
“I've never seen anything like it. It was madness.”
“Never, ever in my life...I mean, besides Hurricane Sandy, have I seen a flood like this before in Soho, ever.”

El Diario NYOn St. Marks Place Tuesday, a skateboarder and a Mercedes driver went to war over a parking spot outside Mamoun's Falafel: board slammed into windshield, driver gave chase, board became weapon, both men ended up wrestling in the street before the skater grabbed his deck and vanished into the East Village [7]. No arrests, no apologies, just a viral video and a reminder that in this city, eight square feet of curb is worth fighting for.
