Manhattan
In Harlem, a five-alarm fire broke out in a cellar and engulfed an five-floor apartment building while a movie was being filmed, killing a fireman, Lt. Michael Davidson, who died instantly from smoke inhalation and the debris from the floor collapsing above him. There are conflicting reports about how the fire might have ignited from a boiler that was recently installed but the site has been declared too hazardous to do an investigation.
To make this tragic incident even worse, two elderly tenants who were evacuated from the building next door to the inferno that were taken to the hospital after the fire returned the next day to discover that their apartments were invaded and burglarized. An 83-year-old woman had $27,500 worth of cash, jewerly and a fur robbed and a 66-year-old woman had $9,800 worth of jewelry and designer sunglasses stolen.
Now two tenants who were living in their residences at the time of the movie shoot and the inferno are suing the landlord and the director and his production company claiming that the latter party knew and didn’t warn anyone in the building about the severity of the initial blaze and also claimed that it was extinguished and accused the production company of storing hazardous flammable materials on the set on the ground floor which was once a jazz club and the landlords for faulty smoke detectors and a lack of fire extinguishers.
All this destruction, strife and the death of a public servant would have all been prevented if the director/producer would have just did a soundstage recreation design of the club and shot the scene in one of many studios the city and state have, like Kaufman Studios in Astoria, Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard or even the one upstate that the stupid governor spent 15 million tax dollars on near Syracuse. But instead Ed Norton wanted location authenticity for whatever his film project is about. Though the city is mostly fault for catering and pandering to the movie and TV industry as the mayor’s office rubber stamps film permits blindly and furiously.
And obliviously, because those are people’s homes. Elderly people’s homes where they are settled and don’t have the time or stamina to just get up and roam around the city and mingle.
It’s also dismaying because Ed Norton is a great actor. Although he and his team gave sincere apologies and condolences to the fireman’s family, this is still a huge disappointment and looks to get progressively worse.

A take on the ye olde 
Get the hint working poor and retired insisting in living in Brooklyn for generations. (
This one is by some tagger named Cool from an East Village shuttered convenience store.
This one is a house in the Dirty Southeast of Queens. It’s like it the same decor some guy in his 20’s in the 70’s who moved into to his parents basement going by the beaded drapery. But more likely it was in the garage because there is a ton of hoarded shit being obscured and crammed on the patio.
