The deadly Legionnaires’ outbreak gripping Harlem has city officials in hot water — as locals accused them Friday of dropping the ball on life-saving inspections and needlessly slow-walking revealing exactly where the disease hit.

The last of 12 cooling towers that tested positive for the bacteria currently spawning a Legionnaires’ outbreak in Harlem is being remediated Friday, with officials hoping containment efforts will help prevent another death.

City officials identified 12 cooling towers in 10 Harlem buildings that tested positive for Legionnaires' disease, including Harlem Hospital Center.
