City records show that the 270-unit building was bought in February for $28.3 million by investors Stephen Siegel, Andrew Goldberg and Jeffrey Goldberg.

That's it guys, complain about the building inspectors. It doesn't take much to pull them off the case.

Never mind; thanks anyway . . . I looked up the occupancy permits and it appears this firetrap was built in 1939.
