Slumlords in NYC... as of October 2014

THANK YOU!!!! Daily News, for bringing this slumlord issue to light in NYC.  These landlords get away with murder.  And WHY? The judges in Housing Court are totally LAX when it comes to forcing  landlords to make repairs. But watch out tenant, if your late for the rent the HOUSING COURT judges will swiftly put you out on the street!

The landlords in the article in the October 12th newspaper have gone for years neglecting their tenants and allowing them languish in intolerable living conditions. Really serious stuff like rat infestations, no working gas, electricity, hanging electrical wiring, broken stairs and elevators, lead paint and asbestos issues are just a few examples.  This state of tenancy is demoralizing, degrading, stressful and terrifying. 

WHAT KIND OF individual says to themselves, "I understand that your kids are living with led paint but I don't give a SH**.

This is what I call  "Landlord Mentality". It's an us and them mentality. ME BIG IMPORTANT LANDLORD you lowly expendable  TENANT. 

Tenants live in fear in New York City and in some cases to ask for simple repairs gets a tenant on landlord radar. Once on landlord radar you are good as evicted.

The landlord says:

"Raise your head little tenant and I will hire my bully lawyers to put you and your family out on the street. I will ruin your credit and I will put you on a blacklist so you can never rent again. Then on the months left on your lease I will hunt you down and sue you for the money long after your gone".

 

AND I SAY:

 "Shame on you HOUSING COURT and shame on you Robin Shimoff, Rawle Isaacs, Joseph Podolski, Bashkim Celaj and Yechiel Weinberger. Have you ever thought that MAYBE you're in the WRONG business? YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS dealing with the home and safety of other people...YOU ARE FIRED!"
