The Daily News had an article on a group of tenants who live in 294 Fifth Avenue in the Slope and say conditions in the rent-controlled building have deteriorated since the property went into foreclosure a couple years ago and a receiver was appointed to take care of it. The building’s boiler, for example, didn’t work for three weeks this winter, and the front-door lock is broken. Public Advocate Bill de Blasio held a news conference yesterday to support the tenants in seeking a court order that would force the receiver to make repairs. According to the article: “The slumlike conditions at 294 Fifth Ave. spotlight a growing concern: smaller apartment buildings that fall into disrepair in part because the building is overleveraged. ‘We think this is a growing problem around the city that the banks and lenders are not taking responsibility for,’ said de Blasio.”

Maybe that’s your way of life but what i think we established here is that as a grownup, oftentimes you have to show a little bit of responsibility.
Especially if you’re getting someting for practically nothing.
Whitey Ford was a car.
Whitney’s still in rehab???
So Whitey Ford was a racist????
Who cares who the complaints came from? People in rent controlled apartments aren’t allowed to complain? (and god forbid her sign is in Spanish).
No, snark. Whitney’s in rehab.
DIBS- you realize I’ll be out on the street when my Landlady reads that? 😉
