The building is not up to code and the tenants should be informed that they are not required to pay rent until it is.
Bronstein Properties who is the current management company does not follow the law. They also discriminate against people with mental disabilities by making fun of them.
Under the law, if the building code does not comply with the law, the tenant is not required to pay rent.
The Housing Maintenance Code in New York City outlines the minimum standards for maintaining buildings and properties to ensure the health and safety of residents. It covers various aspects like sanitation, heating, light, ventilation, and fire safety. Owners are obligated to provide adequate janitorial services, maintain essential services like heat and hot water, and ensure the property is in good repair.
Public Health:
The code is a critical component of healthy homes initiatives, ensuring safe and habitable living conditions.
--The dog sh*t that has been happening for the past YEAR that has been reported and ignored!--
Second code violation --
The code establishes minimum standards for building upkeep, covering everything from basic equipment to sanitation and fire safety.
--The hoarding on the balconies, the grills on the balconies both fall under FIRE SAFETY.--
Third Violation --
The code addresses fire safety requirements, including the installation and maintenance of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
--I was told by a member of the staff that he refused to replace the problematic fire detector/Carbon monoxide detector requirements . Major code violation--
In accordance with NYC LAW - There must be a 10-foot clearance between the grill and the building. You are allowing them on balconies. The proof is there.
As it is my right as a tenant, could you please supply me with the latest Annual lead inspection. (Ignored)
In accordance with what the manager of Bronstein Properties stated in her previous email regarding the fire detector, and stating that it is not an emergency, under the LAW you are required to follow the following. Please educate yourself so I don't have to teach you the laws of NYC, FDNY, Fair Housing Act and the ADA, if you want to be in the position that you are in, you are required to know the laws.
"In accordance with the fair housing act, I have rights under the Fair Housing Act and other relevant laws which may require THE DRAKE (landlord or housing provider) to comply with requests for reasonable accommodation. PTSD is a recognized disability under Fair Housing Laws: Federal, state, and local fair housing laws prohibit discrimination (Both the lead manager for the company and the building manager chose to discriminate me because I have PTSD.) against individuals with disabilities, and PTSD is explicitly listed as a protected mental illness or psychological impairment under these laws.Right to request reasonable accommodations: As a tenant with a disability, you have the right to request "reasonable accommodations" to fully use and enjoy your dwelling. What are reasonable accommodations? These are changes to a landlord's rules, policies, or practices, or even modifications to the physical space, which are necessary for you to have equal opportunity to use and enjoy your housing because of your disability."
