landlord had no smoke alarm, sprinklers in 2021 deadly fire, court docs show
A “negligent” landlord who failed to have smoke detectors or sprinklers in his Queens rental is responsible for a fire that killed two young sisters — and turned their family’s American dream into a nightmare, according to court papers.
Noor Naeem, 18, and Amna Syed, 21, were sleeping in a third-floor apartment on 101st Avenue with their mom and a third sister when the blaze erupted on May 27, 2021, according to litigation filed by the Queens Public Administrator’s office on behalf of the victim’s estates.
The young women died days later of smoke inhalation.
The flames were sparked by overloaded extension cords, according to the Fire Department, which noted the lack of smoke detectors.
