For 60 years, Met Council on Housing has fought to ensure safe, stable, and affordable housing for all New Yorkers. Tenants' Rights Hotline: 212-979-0611
Since these tenants have been in court for over two years, facing deplorable conditions, including rats, roaches, collapsing ceilings, and ongoing harassment. It is inexplicable that Daniel Ohebshalom would spend so much money on lawyers rather than repairs.

BREAKING: The REST Act has just passed the Assembly Housing Committee. We are one step closer to expanding rent stabilization across the state. 👐🏿 #TenantsDeserveREST
Tenants at 725 W 172nd Street in Washington Heights rallied last Monday neighbors and housing advocates to demand immediate action from landlord L.C.S. Enterprises Inc., led by George and Tony Huang, after months of deteriorating conditions and repeated management failures.
For years, New Yorkers have been priced out of their own neighborhoods as outside investors have profited.
With @CMSandyNurse's COPA legislation, when many apartment buildings go up for sale, tenants and nonprofits would have a chance to buy the building before investors.
I'm proud to support COPA, grateful for Councilmember Nurse's partnership, and looking forward working with City Council to pass this important bill.
