Tenants of the long-ignored crumbling apartments are now all withholding rent.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Residents of three crumbling buildings in Brooklyn that city records show have more than 800 housing code violations are withholding rent after a botched real estate deal left them with an absentee landlord.
Sharp’s 23-unit building has 488 open housing code violations, including 403 that are “immediately hazardous” or “hazardous,” according to property records. The infractions range from roaches, mice and mold across the three buildings, where water damage has destroyed walls, floors and ceilings. “HPD is taking aggressive action to ensure that the owner corrects violations and improves conditions in these buildings,” said William Fowler, a spokesperson for HPD. “HPD litigation against the owner is proceeding, our Anti-Harassment Unit is supporting inspections, and our Alternative Enforcement Program is in full swing.”
