Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

slumlord watchlist alert

Pros

really nothing tbh

Cons

The new owner of our building is #18 on NYC’s slumlord list (out of 100). They have successfully harassed many tenants into leaving so they can renovate the apartments and rent them out for way higher rent. They also are trying to do the same to me and have my apartment listed for rent without coming to an agreement with me to surrender the apartment
