Hello. So myself, and my Mother who is disabled have been dealing with harassment from my Landlord ever since we filed complaints to HPD, and formed a Tenant Association to force him to do repairs. He’s emailed us saying my Mom smokes, and that she can’t smoke even though this isn’t on our lease. I also informed him that my Mom no longer smokes due to being diagnosed with COPD. They’ve complained that we keep the TV too loud as well.
Most recently they’ve had contractors working on the building with no permit in sight. Their contractors shut off power to our apartment 2 times which I have proof of because my security cameras all went down, and came up on their own. Plus my clock was knocked out, and my Mom was home. They denied their contractors did anything. They blamed my Moms TV. Just yesterday the same contractors cut our Verizon Fios wire. Now we have no cable, internet, or phone service. I emailed them to inform them of what their contractors did because these same contractors cut the Verizon Fios wire for apt 3L as well who is part of our tenant association. THey emailed me back saying that they’re sorry this occurred, and that going forward no wires are allowed to be installed through the window on the building due to a “Hazard”.
I told them that the Verizon tech is coming tomorrow morning to repair the wire, and they informed me that he wouldn’t be allowed to go through the basement, back yard, or roof to do repairs. They know he may need yard access to put a new wire that their contractors cut. Isn’t this illegal? What are my options? My mom needs that phone up because she’s elderly, and disabled and sick. Please help me.
