The deadliest Legionnaires' cluster since 2015 is over. Most of the cooling towers that feed these outbreaks still go uninspected.
City Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin confirmed two more deaths from the Carnegie Hill and Yorkville cluster, four weeks after the city declared it closed. [76] The bacteria breed in the water of rooftop cooling towers and ride out on the mist their fans throw off; under Local Law 77 an owner must have a qualified inspector check each tower every 90 days while it runs (NYC Health). Speaker Julie Menin, who lives in the neighborhood, has a Council hearing set for Wednesday. [73]
“There is no evidence of ongoing transmission as the last diagnosis was more than six weeks ago”
“During our hearing next Wednesday, the City Council will closely examine how this tragic outbreak occurred and what additional actions and policies are needed to better protect New Yorkers”

School starts Sept. 10. Directors are covering payroll with credit lines, retirement savings and their own checking accounts.
Childcare operators contracted by the city for 2-K, 3-K and pre-K say the advance payments that normally arrive in August never came, because their contracts have not been registered. [67] A city contract cannot be paid until the comptroller registers it, and the comptroller cannot register what the Education Department has not sent (NYC Charter §328); DOE has blamed the comptroller's office, which says it has not received any 2-K contracts at all. [67] City & State reports the delay is being pinned on the outgoing early-childhood deputy chancellor, Simone Hawkins, who announced her September exit back in July. [4]
“If we do open up on the first day of school, I won't have staff”
“The start of the school year is not an unexpected event”
“We are expediting the processing and disbursement of loans for providers”
City & State New York - All ContentBan the carriages and you also unlock three low-rise lots two blocks from the Vessel. The stable owners say that was always the point.
The City Council is nearing a final vote on Romanch's Law, which would stop issuing carriage medallions immediately and end the industry outright on June 1, 2028. [57] The horses live in aging four-story stables on West 37th, 38th and 52nd Streets, a stone's throw from Hudson Yards, and drivers testified at July's 10-hour hearing that the land, not the animals, is what the campaign is really about. [57] Council Member Chris Marte, who introduced the bill, says the buildings can be reused and that what happens to them is a separate land-use fight. [57]
“The real estate that the carriages hold is extraordinarily valuable, and the amount of effort to obtain that real estate knows no bounds”
“We bought our land because we wanted it and we needed it, and we didn't buy it to sell it.”
“That doesn't mean the stables or those buildings have to change, there's a number of things you can do with them, but I think that's a longer land use discussion”
Somebody is down there. Around 4 a.m. Tuesday, five people in dark clothing and headlamps climbed out of a manhole near West 31st Street and Seventh Avenue, on video, and walked off. Nassau County police got calls about a similar crew going down a hole at Wantagh and Jerusalem avenues at 1 a.m. Thursday; officers looked, found nobody, and no witness saw anyone come back up. In May it was groups of seven or eight entering two manholes in Gravesend and Williamsburg, opposite ends of Brooklyn, emerging hours later. No arrests, no explanation, and a Department of Environmental Protection reminder that entering the sewer system is illegal and comes with gases you cannot smell. Whatever the club is, it appears to be recruiting. [26]
