Two years post-fire fatalities in a Hamptons rental, owners Peter and Pamela Miller pled guilty to negligent homicide and reckless endangerment, facing significant prison time.
The Suffolk County District Attorney highlighted the reckless nature of the rental's conditions, noting serious violations, including unpermitted construction and lack of safety measures like fire alarms.
The tragic incident involved a Maryland family vacationing at the rental; the sisters ultimately succumbed to the blaze despite attempts by their father to rescue them.
The Millers' case brings attention to the pressing need for stricter regulations in the short-term rental market to ensure safety and compliance.
