Not even close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"188\" data-total-count=\"516\">Here are the shortfalls in Dorney Tower that never would have passed muster in New York, which has much more stringent building codes and safety checks, according to city safety officials.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"story-subheading story-content\" data-para-count=\"27\" data-total-count=\"543\"><strong>Flammable exterior covering<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"314\" data-total-count=\"857\">Dorney Tower, completed in 1967 and refurbished in 2008, shares several problematic features with Grenfell Tower, which was encased in a flammable exterior covering, known as cladding, that contributed to the fire\u2019s rapid spread. The cladding on the tower, which was added in 2008, failed safety tests this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"234\" data-total-count=\"1091\">In New York City, cladding must be tested and found to be fire resistant before it can ever be put on a building, said Thomas Fariello, first deputy commissioner for the city\u2019s Department of Buildings, which enforces building codes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"story-continues-1\" class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"352\" data-total-count=\"1443\">The requirement dates to 1968, and has been made more stringent since. Though retrofitted buildings may be held to different standards, new buildings are inspected upon completion to make sure that cladding was installed properly and that it matches the material that was tested. Facades on buildings taller than 75 feet are inspected every five years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"136\" data-total-count=\"1579\">\u201cThe siding material in this city, with that fire testing, is not going to be able to go up in flames like that,\u201d Mr. Fariello said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-viewer-candidate\" src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2017\/06\/28\/world\/28Londonfire-comparison4\/28Londonfire-comparison4-master675.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-mediaviewer-src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2017\/06\/28\/world\/28Londonfire-comparison4\/28Londonfire-comparison4-superJumbo.jpg\" data-mediaviewer-caption=\"An exterior panel was removed from Dorney Tower last week.\" data-mediaviewer-credit=\"Justin Tallis\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty Images\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"media-action-overlay\"><span class=\"caption-text\">An exterior panel was removed from Dorney Tower last week.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"credit\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Credit<\/span>Justin Tallis\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"205\" data-total-count=\"1784\">The same contractor installed cladding on both Grenfell Tower and Dorney Tower, although officials said the material was different.

A backup route is needed in case one of the stairways is inaccessible or being used by firefighters, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"68\" data-total-count=\"2397\">New York buildings over 420 feet must have a third flight of stairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"71\" data-total-count=\"2468\">The single escape route out of Dorney Tower has long worried residents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"134\" data-total-count=\"2602\">Amal Salah, 45, who has lived there on the 15th floor for the past 11 years, said her family had been on edge since the Grenfell fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"102\" data-total-count=\"2704\">\u201cWe only have the main staircase,\u201d Ms. Salah said. \u201cSo we just hope that nothing will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"story-subheading story-content\" data-para-count=\"18\" data-total-count=\"2722\"><strong>Missing fire doors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"270\" data-total-count=\"2992\">London fire officials found that Dorney Tower and other buildings in the same complex\u00a0lacked working fire doors, and in some cases were missing them altogether. Without working fire doors to block a fire, flames can spread quickly from one part of a building to another.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-viewer-candidate\" src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2017\/06\/28\/world\/28Londonfire-comparison2\/28Londonfire-comparison2-master675.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-mediaviewer-src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2017\/06\/28\/world\/28Londonfire-comparison2\/28Londonfire-comparison2-superJumbo.jpg\" data-mediaviewer-caption=\"Fire safety equipment was checked at Dorney Tower after residents were evacuated.\" data-mediaviewer-credit=\"Hannah Mckay\/Reuters\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"media-action-overlay\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Fire safety equipment was checked at Dorney Tower after residents were evacuated.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"credit\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Credit<\/span>Hannah Mckay\/Reuters<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"147\" data-total-count=\"3139\">New York City officials said that fire doors in all high rises must be self-closing and self-latching, and noted that they were regularly assessed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"124\" data-total-count=\"3263\">\u201cIf our inspectors are called to the building for any reason, that is something we will inspect for,\u201d Mr. Fariello said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"144\" data-total-count=\"3407\">Experts say at least part of the reason Britain has less-strict fire codes is because business-friendly governments have pared back regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"147\" data-total-count=\"3554\">A 2005 measure ended a requirement for government inspectors to certify that buildings had met fire codes and shifted to a system of self-policing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-para-count=\"175\" data-total-count=\"3729\" data-node-uid=\"1\">\u201cWe have the developers on our back a lot, because they want to build, build, build,\u201d Mr. Fariello said. \u201cWe are kind of in their way a lot to make these things safe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megan Specia | The New York Times | June 27, 2017 The Dorney Tower in Camden, London, where hundreds of families were forced to evacuate this week because of safety concerns.\u00a0CreditNiklas Halle&#8217;N\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty Images Hundreds of families were evacuated this week from Dorney Tower, a 23-story London apartment building, after the authorities found&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myconstructionexpert.com\/blog\/london-high-rise-pass-muster-new-york-short-answer-no\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Would This London High-Rise Pass Muster in New York?
