We are two tenant associations who joined together to defend ourselves against a corporate real estate investment hydra that seeks to expel us from our homes in order to maximize their profits.

Surveillance


Electronic locks and security cameras have been installed at 120 and 118 East 4th St by Fortune East/ Magnum Mgmt, Ben Shaoul/ Meadow Partners. Its said to be for security, but its for surveillance of the tenants. We have an electronic fob on our keychains that opens the door. Each fob contains an identity marker and Apt # of each tenant. A camera records our image as we come and go. The fob and camera work in tandem, counting and video taping. We treated more like inmates than free citizens of New York City. The Corporate Hyrda closely observes our every move. Every breath.
