A woman in her 40s tragically died in a fire at an abandoned house in Dyker Heights, where she was living illegally. This incident marks the sixth fire at the same address in two years. Local officials are now pushing for legislative measures to monitor and collect data on squatters in abandoned homes, like the proposed 'squatter information bill' by Councilwoman Susan Zhuang. These efforts are seen as essential for enhancing safety and preventing future tragedies, following the unfortunate death of the woman in the recent blaze.
The house on 67th Street has seen six fires in just two years, raising grave concerns for public safety and awareness on illegal squatting.
Council woman Susan Zhuang is advocating for the 'squatter information bill,' aimed at improving monitoring and data collection regarding illegal occupations.
