The New York City Health Department is investigating a cluster of Legionnaires’ disease on the Upper East Side that has sickened 60 people

The cases have been identified in the Carnegie Hill and Yorkville neighborhoods. No deaths have been reported

Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria, which grow in warm water and can spread through contaminated water vapor

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Friday that every cooling tower that tested positive for Legionella bacteria has now been disinfected.

Investigators have identified 31 cooling towers that tested positive for the bacteria within the outbreak area, which spans three Upper East Side ZIP codes.

Officials cautioned that a positive test does not necessarily mean a building is the source of people’s infections, and said confirming the exact source of the outbreak could still take weeks.

The following buildings have cooling towers that have tested positive for Legionella bacteria:

1750 York Ave.
180 East End Ave.
1660 2nd Ave.
1438 3rd Ave.
1511 3rd Ave.

Officials said people who live, work or have visited those areas since late June should monitor for symptoms and seek medical care if they become ill.

Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria that thrive in warm water. Symptoms include cough, fever, muscle aches and difficulty breathing.

The Health Department said that the investigation is not related to any building’s plumbing system. Residents can continue to safely drink tap water, bathe, shower, cook and use air conditioning in their homes.

The disease is not contagious and cannot be spread from person to person.

Those at greatest risk include adults age 50 and older, people who smoke or vape, those with chronic lung disease, weakened immune systems or people taking medications that suppress the immune system, according to the department.

The agency believes the source of the bacteria is likely a cooling tower in the affected area. It is testing cooling towers throughout the affected area.

The cluster follows a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Central Harlem last summer that sickened more than 100 people and killed seven.
