Marcus Santos/New York Daily News Toxic smoke and dust clouded East Harlem and other areas of upper Manhattan after the March 12 explosion that leveled an apartment building and killed eight people. Tenants in an East Harlem building near last month’s massive explosion are set to file a lawsuit Friday accusing the city of saying their apartments were fine when they actually had unsafe levels of toxic lead and asbestos dust, their lawyer said Thursday.
Attorney Andrew Carboy said his clients, who all live at 89 E. 116th St., were evacuated and allowed to return after nearly a week. When they did, they found dust covering everything.
Carboy said he will file a suit in Housing Court that will ask the city to force the landlord to do a thorough cleanup inside each apartment.
The five-story building is next to the site of the March 12 explosion which killed eight and injured dozens.
