Edward Norton‘s production company is being sued over the fire that took the life of New York City firefighter Michael R. Davidson on set of the upcoming movie Motherless Brooklyn on March 22, NY Daily News reports.

A tenant of the Harlem building where the fire occurred filed a $7 million lawsuit against the production company, Class 5 Films, and the building’s owner, Vincent Sollazzo, for maintaining “highly flammable equipment” on Tuesday (March 27), hours after Michael was laid to rest.

Erica Cruz – the tenant filing the lawsuit – blames the fire on Class 5 Films’ “recklessness, carelessness and neglect,” before saying her apartment was “completely destroyed.”

“When representative of Class 5, Inc. became aware of the fire, they did not warn the tenants in the building; in fact, they misled the tenants into believing there had been a fire that had been extinguished,” the lawsuit says. Erica went on to say that she suffered “severe and permanent personal injuries” and property loss due to the fire.

Edward has not commented on the lawsuit yet.

37-year-old firefighter and father of four Michael R. Davidson sadly died on Thursday night (March 22) while battling a fire on the set of the upcoming Edward Norton-directed film, Motherless Brooklyn, in New York City.

His death, due to a critical injury sustained while battling the fire, was confirmed by Edward and producers of the upcoming film in a statement issued on Friday (March 23).

“To our great sorrow, we now know that a NYC firefighter lost his life battling the blaze that grew, and our hearts ache in solidarity with his family. New York City firefighters truly are the bravest in the world. We watched firsthand with astonishment as they charged into the smoke to make sure all were safely out and then fought to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading, putting their lives on the line as they do every day,” said Edward and the producers in a statement.

Flames initially broke out around in the basement of the Harlem apartment house where filming is taking place for the movie. Bruce Willis stars in the upcoming movie.

“Our city lost a hero tonight. The prayers of 8.5 million New Yorkers are with his wife, his four children and his loved ones,” said Mayor Bill DeBlasio in a statement.

Our thoughts are with Michael‘s family and friends at this difficult time.
