This time it's because she's moving back into her apartment at 85 Bronx River Road, from where she and other residents had been displaced since fire ravaged the interior of the building in 2003.

Resident Viola Daquila said she and her husband, Albert, spent the time since the fire living with their daughter in Scarsdale, though they never forgot the apartment building where they raised five children.

"Every day, we would pass by and try to see how the reconstruction was going," Viola Daquila said. "The time passed, and now I'm so happy to be back. I just cry thinking about it," she said.

The Daquilas managed to pull out a rocking chair and a few soggy photos after the fire but, like many of the residents, they were starting over and were trying to forget the day they were forced to leave everything behind.

The seven-alarm fire on March 16, 2003, came during the middle of the day and everyone in the building got out alive. It occurred just two days after Yonkers firefighters battled another major fire in the city's Nodine Hill neighborhood. The Oak Street fire burned several multifamily homes, displaced almost 200 residents and ultimately killed five people.

Case Construction of Long Island City completed the $12.5 million project. The 106-unit building is now equipped with 48 new digital security cameras, new granite flooring in the lobby and a completely modernized laundry room.

Bamboo floors, heat and carbon monoxide sensors, as well as sprinklers, are now in all apartments. Granite kitchen countertops are in some of the units.

Real estate agent David Amster said the values of the cooperative apartments are now worth three times as much as before the fire — a combination of the updates and the sky-rocketing home prices in Westchester County.
