Peter Thomas Roth who I adore, must live in or near Trump Towers. He had a live video on his Twitter yesterday during the Fire at Trump Towers. Sad that one person died in the fire and others are injured! He posted:
Home, safe with my family. What a crazy thing to experience here in NYC. My prayers go out to those families directly effected by this.

He seems like a nice guy.

He is a nice guy. I met him at 2 Beauty Bashes years ago--super nice and down to earth!

Maybe because it was an older building?

I know the news said at the time that it was built it was not a law to have them BUT I sure hope that he installs them now!!!

Nope, residences are not required to have them. Its up to each owner to put in sprinklers/alarms only if they want them.

we have a highrise condo at the beach that was built in the mid 70s. it is required that sprinklers be along all of the hallways AND every unit has to have smoke detectors (those that are wired into the entire building and personally installed detectors.)
i think it depends on where you live and what the ordinances are.

Exactly. Apparently the building was built before those requirements and then when they were brought about the 'owner' fought them and, 'somehow or other', managed to get grandfathered in so that the changes didn't have to be made.
