"FDNY Fast Tracks City Hall VIPs, Cancels Inspections at Schools and Housing"

The FDNY canceled a dozen fire inspections, including one at an overcrowded public school in Brooklyn, in order to prioritize inspections for VIPs connected to Mayor Eric Adams' administration. The pressure to expedite inspections came from City Hall and favored big developers, corporations, and individuals who had financially supported Adams' campaign or lobbied for favorable treatment. The FBI and federal prosecutors are investigating whether these applicants received preferential treatment in exchange for their financial support. The internal emails obtained by THE CITY reveal concerns among FDNY officials about favoritism and the growing list of VIPs, leading to the cancellation of inspections for non-VIP New Yorkers.

Good Morning America, the flagship ABC morning news show, is set to leave its iconic studio in New York's Times Square after 25 years and move to a new Walt Disney building in Hudson Square in 2025. While the move will allow for more collaboration and innovation, staff members are reportedly unhappy and concerned about potential disadvantages compared to competitors. The new studio may not have windows or outdoor space, which could impact the show's ability to feature regular people in the background. However, the move will bring all ABC News teams under one roof and allow for more efficient work.
