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.

Trash & Consequences


This group of photographs and quote are from one of our Tenant Assoc members.


"To prospective buyers.   Here's what your beautiful building often looks like during the day and night.  This is what an EV building owner can expect for a $ 25 million value. 
Ben, Magnum misManagement company forced our excellent super out of our building (against present city laws) so to have yet one more space to make monthly profit.   We still have our super, but he had to find his own accomodations, several blocks away.     The new tenents, most being transient, don't seem to have an interest in learning how to keep our garbage.   
Moving him out has had clear consequences.  Management will blame him, but no way.   When living on the premises, our super was on top of it constantly.   He still works as hard as any super can, and the best we've had in most aspects.  He's reliable and cares about cleanthiness, but it's impossible to keep up with the piles when not living here.  And since Magnum has arrived to make this a better place for all, this is what we daily come home to."









There were 4 bins for the garbage. Magnum has removed 2 of the garbage bins. Those were for the recycling. Now there is no place to put our recyclable materials. This must be some sort of violation.

  1. It looks like the garbage strikes in NY in the 70s.

  2. Yeah, the landlord kicks out the super to get every last dollar from his space, and so the garbage overflows into the streets. Disgusting management.

  3. Call 311 to report the landlord, especially for not providing recycling facilities. Definitely against the law and subject to fines.
