Corrigan said the hotel must remove fire hazards before reopening around July 1. Despite a $2,500,000 loan, the building lacks an automatic sprinkler system in paint and carpenter shops, and inflammable liquids were found on the 21st floor. He ordered mirrored doors removed from fire escapes on the 19th floor and cited the wood encased techapel taproom as highly dangerous. Fire experts blamed extensive woodwork in the lobby and cocktail lounge for rapid spread of the June 5, 1946 fire.
