NYC Public Advocate’s Office Releases
Annual List
The New York City Public advocate’s
Office (https://advocate.nyc.gov/) has
released its list of the 100 worst landlords in New York City. The list is
available online at http://landlordwatchlist.com/.
The list is based on how many
open housing code violations have been issued by the Department of Housing
Preservation and Development, how many open building code violations there are,
and whether the city has sold a tax lien for a building.
The ten worst buildings in each
borough are also listed. For Brooklyn, have a look at http://landlordwatchlist.com/brooklyn/.
You can check these things for
your own building, or any other. To check HPD violations, go to www.nyc.gov/hpd and enter the address. For
building violations, check the address at www.nyc.gov/buildings.
For taxes and tax lien, you can check www.nyc.gov/finance
.
If you are the owner of a
building on the list, or a tenant in such a building, this affects you, and you
should get experienced legal advice on what you need to do. Get advice from an
independent source. Call a lawyer recommended by someone who has nothing to
gain from your trouble. Call the Bar Association.
Whatever you do, get your own
INDEPENDENT legal advice, even if it costs you more than you want to spend. If
you don’t, you most certainly will pay a lot more later. You get what you pay
for. And NEVER agree to anything involving your home or property unless and
until you’ve received that independent legal advice.

more information: come in, call us or visit us online.
