Let's hope this one lasts longer than the previous one (which also came about after community agitation).

That would at least discourage the evictions of rent-paying tenants.<br />And all payments should be withheld on any apartment with code violations. $3000 is a lot of leverage; why won't the city use it?<br /><br />Does anyone have any info re this slumlord? Seems even the WNYC reporter couldn't track him down...diaknoreply@blogger.com
