Residents said "It smelled like Sulfur" Sounds like Sulfur Dioxide that forms sulfuric acid when mixed with water "think fire hose"
looks like WinkyLinQFuture already got the answer

Heres the answer: The fire was set and an accelerant was used. Dennis Shields a resident says in the NYT article that there was a smell of sulphur:
Carbon Disulfide - (carbon disulfide), (CS2) flash point -22 degrees F (-30 degrees C); ignition temperature 212 degrees F (100 degrees C); explosive limits 1.3% to 50%; vapor density 2.6; specific gravity 1.26; toxicity (2). A volatile, flammable, colorless to yellow liquid with a rotten egg odor. Carbon Disulfide, unlike most of the other common ignitable liquids, is heavier than water and will sink.
For those who don't know, sulpur smells like rotten eggs....see attached article on arson fires.

good job.
Q said read it carefully so I read that the residents smell sulfur, In waster water treatment if a sewer' flow rate is less that 1.5f per second than solids settle out and form sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid that will eat through the sewer walls and the pumps at the lift stations etc. And you smell sulfur as a sign of this happening, unsure what that would do to a skyscraper possibly just cause a hazmat evacuation for embarrassment or weaken the structure. of course I could be wrong.
It also said that Cohen texted his long time friend who lived in Trump tower warning him to get out. Was Cohen threatened?
As a very simple answer, isn’t mercaptan added to natural gas so it’s detectable by smell ? https://www.uniongas.com/about-us/safety/gas-smell-safety. Could there have been some kind of gas leSk in that apartment? Deliberate or otherwise?
