Specifically, "before we ran this story, Adams spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak claimed we would be "wrong" if we published." (Quoting NYDN reporters Chris Sommerfeldt and Evan Simko-Bednarski on X)
Quote from Commissioner Morse: "After an extensive investigation, we were able to identify two cooling towers that had a genetic match with patient specimens. We are working with building owners on next steps to protect the health and safety of Harlem residents and to prevent future clusters."

Legionnaires’ outbreak that has killed 7 in NYC potentially traced to Harlem Hospital
The current outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease — the second largest in New York City history — may have its origins in two city-run buildings, including Harlem Hospital, sources familiar with the matter tell the Daily News.
Two buildings in uptown Manhattan — Harlem Hospital and a building leased by the city’s Economic Development Corporation — are being eyed as sources of the outbreak, The News has learned. The outbreak killed its seventh victim on Thursday. Other sources are possible as well.
The news comes as tests for the Legionella bacteria in New York City’s cooling towers have, under the Adams administration, fallen to a post-pandemic low, according to reporting by Gothamist earlier this month.
The towers — which serve as evaporators for water coursing through the air conditioning systems of large buildings — can become an ideal environment for bacterial growth if not inspected and cleaned regularly.
