: If you had a Super until three years ago, then you and all the tenants should file a "building-wide Reduction in services" complaint (assuming your bldg is rent-stabilized, and in NY).
You should list the services that the Super provided (was he/she there for emergencies, are the repair services not done, are the hallways/elevators dirtier, did he hold packages for tenants, etc.)
Our LL had cut back the number of porters servicing our bldg, and we filed a complaint for reduction in services. DHCR sent an inspector, found dirty stairwells, and gave us a rent-reduction). Just tell the other tenants that only those tenants that actually join in signing the complaint form will see rent reduction, if any.
