💨 Abstract

A couple renting their home on Airbnb in Westchester County, New York, was charged with manslaughter after a fire killed a teacher and her one-year-old daughter. The fire, which started in the chimney, was determined to have been caused by lack of functional smoke detectors, violating fire, building, and residential codes. The couple's Airbnb listing stated the home had smoke detectors, but investigators found otherwise.
