A Bronx apartment complex where 17 were killed during a blaze in January was due for an inspection that never took place because fire officials were diverted to a COVID task force to ensure restaurants followed pandemic guidelines, a report found. Oren Barzilay, president of Local 2507 - an union representing EMTs and FDNY inspectors - revealed the concerning report Wednesday at a hearing before the Fire and Emergency Management Committee.The Twin Park North West complex was scheduled for an examination of its standpipe system a year before the fire on January 9.
