after a faulty radiator turned their Bronx apartment into a “steam room.”
“The time of landlords openly flouting the law and harassing tenants is over. This lawsuit sends a clear message that those who break the law will pay,” Adams, 61, said in a press release. “For years, Moshe Piller has ignored his responsibilities as a landlord and racked up more than 1,900 violations — landing him a spot as one of the city’s ‘worst landlords.’ While Piller made millions in profits, his tenants paid the price.
“The defendants have allowed their buildings to deteriorate to the point where they pose an imminent threat to the health and safety of the tenants and the public,” the suit continues. The lawsuit will target 15 of Piller’s properties, including buildings in the Bronx, upper Manhattan, and Brooklyn. It’s unclear exactly how many buildings he owns across the city.
“It is time for Moshe Piller to finally see real consequences for harassing tenants and forcing us to live in dangerous conditions,” Altagrace Aime, tenant leader of the Flatbush Tenant Coalition said in a statement. “Right now, we have a roof that leaks whenever it rains. He’s endangered peoples’ lives right here in Brooklyn and in the Bronx.”
New York City should sue itself for being the worst landlord in New York City.
