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.

Take Out Menus With Violations



Faced with the possibility of months with no cooking gas, those pesky take out menus that plague most NY apartment buildings are a welcome site here at 118 East 4th St. The placard from the pissed off tenant remains in tact. I must confess that I rather like the Folksy but knowing penmanship. There is also something else of note in this photograph. Yet another violation from the City for improper garbage disposal. All these fines are $200. Not enough in my opinion to get the attention of the landlord to correct the problem.

  1. How does this happen, heat (surely). hot water, but nothing for the stoves? Surely they would be taking some sort of action to find....a secondary leak?..... yes, I know, I'm assuming a measure of good faith--not to mention logic--here. Does someone with an email link with Westminster have a clue? Surely you're ready to march down 12th St pitchforks in hand in the quest for satisfaction, and they have to know that. Someone should camp out at the office tomorrow. Good luck seems an inadequate term at this point. I am not a violent man, but I would understand if............

  3. Do the various under-the-table tenants (AKA Air B&Bs) in this building who can't call WM/Super and open the door for inspections interfere with the rest of us getting the gas turned on? I know that each unit has a gas meter so must be inspected individually but is restoration of gas contingent on every unit being seen?
