161Remsen looks like a single family. But as someone who grew up next to Money knows, there are PROBABLY 5 families, 45 people in that house that’s being used as a synagogue to avoid paying taxes

Yes Dave. I looked at the pics of it on Zillow, the Monsey Scoop, and several
Other sites. It is a very large single family home - basically a mansion, that rents for $10,000 a month. There is a Mikvah in the basement that one of the firefighters fell into during search for the fire. Also radio traffic reported “many “ beds downstairs. The building was reportedly occupied by 45 visiting school age girls from Canada when the fire began. Chavrim has stated that they evacuated everyone which is quite possible. Things are a little different these Days in Monsey and Ramapo. Building codes and emergency response.
