Illegal conversion of NYC home leads to woman being critically injured by carbon monoxide exposure

A woman’s life was put at risk when she suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning after a disconnected boiler leaked the toxic gas into her illegally converted apartment in Queens on Christmas Eve morning, according to officials.

A woman, whose identity remains unknown, was quickly taken to Nassau County Medical Center in critical condition after being discovered on the top floor of a residence on 194th Street in St. Albans at approximately 10:30 a.m., as reported by fire officials and the Department of Buildings.

Three additional individuals who resided in the residence were transported to a nearby hospital and are currently in stable condition.

Ryan Mohan, a resident of the building, informed WABC that the woman and her daughter unexpectedly “collapsed.”

As the firefighters made their way through the home in search of the woman, their carbon monoxide detector blared loudly, according to the outlet.

According to Mohan, carbon monoxide was detected on every floor when they conducted a test using a meter.

The identities or ages of the victims were not provided by officials.

Inspectors from the Department of Buildings were later summoned to the location and found that the boiler had been improperly connected. As a result, the carbon monoxide was not being adequately vented outside of the house, according to a spokesperson from the DOB.

The building authorities have issued an order to shut down two boilers and a pair of hot water heaters in the building.

According to the DOB, the two-family home was also being utilized to accommodate seven families. Apartments in the cellar and attic were being rented out without proper work permits.

This Christmas, residents of the home are now compelled to find alternative accommodations due to a partial vacate order that has been issued.

On Tuesday, the Red Cross provided assistance to the displaced tenants, helping them find alternative accommodation.

A neighbor expressed sympathy for the tenants, stating, “It’s unfortunate that it’s a holiday now.” “It’s a mess,” she exclaimed, as they now have to find homes to be.
