Deutsche Bank Building Dropped After Deadly Fire

NY1 has learned that Bovis, the contractor at the former Deutsche Bank building site, moved Wednesday to fire its subcontractor, John Galt, following Saturday’s deadly blaze that claimed the fire of two firemen.

Bovis, along with the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, claims Galt demonstrated an inability in terms of its supervision and maintenance of the project.

This comes a day after the Manhattan district attorney announced the launch of a criminal investigation into the fire.

The investigation so far has revealed a building with a history of Department of Building violations, including several fines this year for failure to properly remove combustible materials and debris.
