DO NOT rent any building by Mark Scharfman
Pros
The pro is you're being warned to RUN!
Cons
Mark Scharfman (aka Scharfman Organization) owns a LOT of property throughout the boroughs. Each one owned by a different LLC he created. If you look up 'The Scharfman Organization' you will find the full list of all his properties. He's slumlord, illegally raises the rent more than allowed between tenants, repairs are not done by licensed workers, increases rent via abusing the capital improvement rule, has many lawsuits, etc. I put in for a Rental Overcharge complaint with the DHCR and it was a back and forth for 2 years before we ended up moving out of state. Never got a resolution.
