Early findings: blocked grills, extra flats
A joint inspection by fire and labor officials is set for May 5 to dig deeper into what went wrong.
Early findings point to blocked grills that slowed rescues, and extra flats built, eight instead of six.
There were also issues with staircase design not matching safety codes, possibly making the fire worse due to something called the stack effect.
Officials are now checking if the building had a completion certificate.
