Description

New York City is cracking down on cooling towers after deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks, with Governor Hochul signing a law requiring biannual inspections, faster repairs, and steep fines—up to $12,000—for failures that endanger lives. The latest outbreak in the Upper East Side killed seven and sickened nearly 100, prompting officials to confirm the source has been contained. This follows a similar Harlem outbreak last year, underscoring the urgent need for accountability and maintenance to protect public health.
