Today the housing court trial continues. My friend suggested making a list of facts and corresponding laws.
===========================================================================


I believe 545 W 146th St Corp. is guilty of gross negligence, harassment, and lying to state agencies. They are endangering the health, safety and well being of tenants in the building (myself included).

Culpable parties: Super, managing agent, officers of the corporation, (share holders)

Facts:

In May 2006, tenants reported a leak in bathroom ceiling had caused bathroom ceiling to collapse. In June, LL still had not responded. In July, LL still had not responded. In August, LL still had not responded, in spite of tenants withholding rent. In September, hole was plastered over, but leak continued to cause mold and recurring collapse.

Debris consisting of rodent and roach feces, dead animals, dust, mold and poison exists between the ceiling of one apartment and the apartment above falls through cracks around heat pipes and elsewhere contaminating the air and harming tenants.

Super harasses tenants, perniciously
-- turning off elevator
-- tearing down signs
--turning of hot water
--cutting off heat
--saying things like, "I am going to put a baby in your belly." and "I'll fix you faucet if you come over to my apartment."
--raping tenants
--demanding entry without proper notice
--removing drain pipe to intentionally damage building
--making lobby cold on night of scheduled meeting by opening doors and windows
--threatening tenants

LL brought frivolous law suits:
-- Instead of making repairs, sued tenants in 2006. Case thrown out due to evidence of mis-reporting to DHCR and over-charging.
--instead of making repairs, sued tenants in 2007. Case dismissed due to lease registered with DHCR omitting one of the tenants. Judge ordered 545 to correct problem before re-petitioning.
--instead of making repairs, sued tenants in 2009 asking for eviction based on hold-over. Case dismissed--wrong type of petition...should have petitioned for non-payment.
--instead of making repairs, sued tenants in 2010 for eviction on the basis of holdover. Case dismissed-- wrong type of petition. Should have petitioned for non-payment.

LL lied to DHCR.

Halls, stairs and lobby are usually unsanitary and have been in a state of disrepair for over seven years.

Trash cans are kept uncovered.

No recycling receptical is provided.

On Friday and Saturday evenings in the summer, tenants of apartment 1 are allowed to operate a business that makes quiet enjoyment impossible.

Strangers are allowed to get drunk, urinate, defecate, fornicate and pass out in halls, stairs and elevator.

Halls, stairs and lobby are usually littered with trash and sticky.

Many residents have no keys.

Most door buzzers are broken.

There is graffiti in lobby, elevator, halls and stairs.

There seems to be some sort of x-ray, sonar, or microwave type of electrical device in apartment above apartment 47, causing old wooden floors to deteriorate and harming tenant. It seems to have different settings.

Bathroom faucet still broken, kitchen cabinet still rusted, bathroom tiles still discolored and broken, bathroom light broken, water pressure to shower very low, toilet broken, holes in floors ceilings and walls, bathroom ceiling water damaged, there is a crack in the first bedroom ceiling and crack in master-bedroom wall which is oozing a brown substance.

There have been a number of "bad repairs". Among these are floor around radiator in living room, bathroom floor, bathroom tiles, sloppy plaster and caulk around baseboards, insecticide paste haphazardly placed and painted over.
