Tenants of 'worst landlord in NYC' fight to own their apartments

This is what happens when people get used to getting everything free
I’m assuming if it’s that Bad you folks would have moved regardless you folks can’t claim the property this isn’t Dodge city 1842

Send protest in a hot desert

Disgusting SMH

Wait, the tenants have the money to buy that NYC building? I find that hard to believe. 😆

If it was so bad why would you continue to live there, or was it just so cheap for an apartment in NYC that they didn't care. This protest doesn't make any sense.

That public advocate guy is terrible but I guess he advocates for the public no matter how unreasonable they can be.

These people have some NERVE.. don't try to own other peoples property.

So their purpose for all this is to hopefully settle and get a payday from the landlord, own the apartment they been living in since they paid rent for decades and be pro squatters. If the conditions they live in were so bad, they can always move out, no one is holding a gun to their head forcing them to live there. Entitlement at its finest.

Well if the landlord cannot afford the repairs, tenants have lived in terrible conditions and the landlord cannot pay the fines how can he continue to own this property? If he is not paying the fines he probably isn’t up to date with his taxes and this property should be seized by the state. If this was a regular homeowner with a bunch of fines, hazardous conditions and complaints you think they would be able to keep their home? The city would snatch it so fast his head would spin.

Free rent

I'm sure all those "Paying Tenant's" are wholesome and pure.

Affordable co ops in Manhattan? Not even in the projects 😂😂😂😂😂😂

lemme get this straight.....theyre saying...since they lived there for a long time.....they want to take it???? Unbelieveable...

close the building.. send tenants to prison -

I don't understand. The city can just take the rent money and fix whatever is necessary in that apartment building. Maybe the rent money don't even cover the expense since it's rent regulated.

NYC landlords are the worst.

Who the hell lives with rats and roaches for over a decade? That says something about the tenants, Nasty!

I'm trying to understand why they don't move they choose to live in those conditions if they can afford to own there apartment then they can afford to move because to make the unit renovate will cost over 300k they need new plumbing electrical windows walls floors not worth it they want a cash grab thinking owning will be more effective meanwhile they will have to pay there mortgage for renovation and taxes and maintenance a heavy bill they not thinking 🤔

They destroyed building, now they want to steal it.

Crime, crime, crime.

In North Korea they give away apartments for free.

The part no one reports is how these HDFC Co-Ops are created on the backs of other New Yorkers. The loan to buy the property and perform repairs is guaranteed by the city and the co-op receives a property tax reductions or exemption. It’s hard to justify the financial liability of backing HDFC Co-Ops when these organizations also decrease property tax revenue. HDFC Co-Ops may be great for the tenants who become owners; banks & financial institutions make who tons of money on guaranteed loans; and non-profits who provide services to help the co-ops operate, but it’s not so great for the rest of New Yorkers.

We want ffrreee…. All Paid by You!

Why should you get to own anything? Get a new landlord who's not a slumlord

Why now?

The only way to end their apartment nightmare... Is to shut up and buy your own house.

These people got nerves nobody told you to stay in those apartments in those conditions

Rent regulated tenants. All we need to know.

These people want freebies
