Longtime rent stabilized tenant--38years. Building has changed hands 6 times. Everytime the building changes ownership, I'm notified that I'm evicted. Which of course is utter nonsense.
Newest LL purchased building 8,9 years ago and is a single business entity--family owned. I was immediately notified of my of eviction. Once again, nonsense, I thought.
My attorney, Steve Dobkin, informs me I should begin looking for a new place; family business entities can throw you out based on the premise they want to install their son in my flat.
Long story, short, they failed. Based largely on their arrogance and sheer stupidity. Now, since long time tenant in flat directly above moved out, they have installed a LL confederate; someone--a lone male who marches back and forth and drops bowling balls on the floor at 3:30 am every night like clock work.
At one point I heard what sounded like a pipe drop to the roof outside my window, 3 amish. A LL worker was there to retrieve it first thing in the morning. I keep my windows open at night for sleeping yearlong. I think the pipe is part of a scheme to pump something? into my flat.
This LL, has a violent rep. Stories abound in this neighborhood, UES, of tenants whom they've had disagreements with being beaten up. If you google their last name you discover a relative of theirs was a mafia don. That's what I'm dealing with. How's your day going?
