Investigators are probing the cause of a Brooklyn house fire that killed six and injured nine, with illegal-apartment complaints and e-bike batteries under scrutiny.
Six adults died and nine people were hurt in a fire at a two-story home on 58th Street in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, on Nov. 5. The cause is under investigation; a lithium-ion e-bike battery is considered a strong possibility. Investigators are also examining multiple complaints of alleged illegal construction at the property; inspectors visited several times but closed the cases after being unable to gain access. Mayor Mamdani said the administration is considering further steps on lithium-ion battery risks. Coverage continued through the weekend.
