The Bronx, NY (December 8) – This week, rent-stabilized tenants at 1187 Anderson Avenue joined tenants at 1230 Woodycrest in the Bronx in announcing a rent strike against their notorious landlord, Isaac Kassirer, demanding they fix hazardous living conditions that have gone unchecked for years, including rodents, roaches, mold, leaks, plumbing problems, inconsistent heat and hot water, and dysfunctional elevators. 

Brooklyn, NY (November 20) – In an amazing show of support, hundreds of neighbors, elected officials, and community groups joined together on Sunday, November 20, in Crown Heights Brooklyn to demand that landlord Yehuda Gruenberg put an end to the extreme harassment of longtime tenant Francis Roberts and finally fix dangerous living conditions that have been plaguing Mr. Roberts for years.

NEW YORK, NY (November 15, 2022) – Legal Services New York City (LSNYC) and The Legal Aid Society applauded regulations proposed by the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) to the Rent Stabilization Code (RSC) which would increase critical protections for rent-stabilized tenants.
