Legionnaires disease

One of the buildings houses a federal Social Security office. It had not reported test results since late June, according to city data.

The City Council is considering legislation aimed at preventing outbreaks, following a deadly outbreak on the Upper East Side.

The initiatives come ahead of a City Council hearing on the administration’s Legionnaires’ response.

After two outbreaks in as many years, victims and health experts alike say the city needs to do more to prevent Legionnaires' from spreading.

The death toll now stands at 9, surpassing the count from last summer’s outbreak in Harlem.

The health department said it has been more than two weeks since a new case was reported.

On the Upper East Side, public shaming has helped spur compliance with measures to prevent Legionnaires’ disease, city officials say.

The city health department says 90 people have been sickened in the outbreak and six remain hospitalized.

The City Council speaker called the Mamdani administration's response to the outbreak "insufficient."

But it takes months to fully train new water ecologists.
