Mister Warm and Fuzzy himself, landlord and developer Joshua Guttman, is under fire again by residents of one of his buildings. No, it’s not for burning the place down. The list of complaints by the buyers of his six-story condo development at 50 Bridge Street is long: leaky roof, crummy ventilation, weak water pressure and almost non-existent insulation. “This guy built a piece of junk,” said lawyer Adam Bailey. “He’s basically ruined these people’s lives.” The scariest aspect of his alleged negligence? The sixth floor addition was built atop a “cockloft” – an unobstructed, building-wide open stretch through which fire would spread quickly. “This guy was sent by the devil,” says Bailey. Anyone have a good photo of the building?
