Ms. Banks is right. Glad she is taking action and being vocal about it. These structural issues will snowball and at some point, it'll be too late to fix. Don't give up!
Who owns the buildings? Why the heck do we never hear the names?
Because they are the elites and friends of the elites... That is the reason their names are never mentioned, and they can get way with not paying fines... or facing legal consequences/ prison.
Because more than likely it's a Jewish name
@@CB-ep9il!!
Orthodox
Chinese
The open ceiling in the management office and that woman not wanting to be on camera is all I need to know about the way they run this entire building.
Don't miss your rent though
Can you believe that
The buildin about to collapse and they still want $3800 for the unit or else 😅
The city agencies and the court systems are on the side of the rich property owners... the names they never mention.
Same in linden plaza please go take a look so sad five building stand weak but don’t miss that rent 🙏🏾
Don't worry. I'm sure half don't pay.
The building owner and the city, for letting these circums6ances accumulate, are both guilty.
Absolutely!!!
So is the city gonna start with its own housing cause them nycha buildings need total overhauls
Them NYCHA buildings need to be privatized into condos. Let the private sector do what it does best.
Exactly.
NYC cheated landlords millions with their eviction moratorium. Where is the money for repairs supposed to come from?
How is NYCHA doing with its maintenance? How much have construction costs gone up in the last 5 years and how much are the owners able to raise the rent? What percentage of the rent due was actually paid in the last 4 years? Many of those buildings look to be at the end of their effective life. Many of those buildings should be razed and rebuilt. Why does the city not build enough new inventory for these people to move into so these buildings can be replaced with more units?
THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. I live in Texas and it's the same thing. I live in a high end apartment and they have been allowed to have the elevator not working for years. Complaints are made over and over and over and just ignored, or brushed off. There are handicap people living here who moved in because there is an elevator. This is just one of many, many, many problems and yet TENANTS HAVE NO RIGHTS. We are threatened with not having our leases renewed if we complain about issues. I have had maintenance people threaten me, yet nothing is done. Have filed complaints with HUD, nothing is done. HUD protects the landlords!
Soooo these same landlords got the nerve to buy lots in the city to build these so call affordable housing we see on housing connect… rent them out to the yt ppl charge them 3k n up but can’t fix shit in their existing properties bcuz let’s keep it 💯💯 of the area or location.. Smfh
Affordable Housing buildings need work also, they weren't built so well. What they also do is give the low income the most defective apartments in the building, used appliances, noisy vents, no insulation between apartments, absolutely horrible. People move in and move out, yet they raise the rent every year.
Considering NYCHA is the biggest slumlords in the city how is there gonna be accountability for that disrepair especially if the entire agency is corrupt as fuck
I wish they can come to my building to fix
If all places is forced to be fixed up to code, landlords will have to fix it, and raise the rent, or forced to sell to a new owner with more money, fix it, and raise the rent. These tenants know what they are paying in rent, its cheaper but they have to deal with the issues. They can always move but they dont have the money. Many people are just 250$ a month more in rent and they will be homeless.
Many of the units aren't allowed to raise the rent enough to cover the cost of repairs. That is why thousands of vacant units need to be repaired. The return doesn't justify the investment.
The CITY NEEDS TO STEP UP. Stronger laws protecting the tenants, high penalties for landlords who do not maintain their property and even higher penalties if those penalties are not paid within a certain time period. It's way overdo that THE CITY DOES ITS JOB AND HAS THE REQUIRED INSPECTIONS CONDUCTED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Noticeable structural cracks? That's Champlain Towers all over again. The city has to do more to protect the vulnerable. Have it in the city budget to hire more building inspectors.
The city needs to repossess buildings that landlords refuse to fix violations.
Unfortunately, the city's real estate owned is in a more state of dis repair. The sad truth.
@@gjonajsvcs I didn’t know this! Can a community sue landlord for failure to fix violation?
The landlords didn't want those tenants around...
It depends on the race of the owners. You can't make them fix nothing no matter how many violation always in NYC.
How about fixing the courts,
It takes years to evict bad tenants
🤡
Entitled, privileged perspective
That is not true!
Stop using excuses to be a slumlord
NYC owes $800M? Are you kidding me?!!!!
It’s turning into a dystopian city of the world
🤦 😩
Time to move from NYC
N.C. is full, move somewhere else.
Landlords in NYC are downright negligent
when it comes to maintaining their own
buildings!!! Glad Mrs. Banks is taking these
douchebags to task once and for all.
New steps should be taken to get squatters out immediately to have enough funds to repair and maintain.
how can the owner not be in JAIL....on the backs of the poor.....no way....we have to fix this!
The city Got it wrong ! There shouldn’t be fines for natural processes that every building will one day face !! The city needs to be required to FIX this for the landlords !
Why?
Why should the city be responsible for fixing private property? The slumlords that own the buildings that they deliberately let fall into disrepair are responsible for proper maintenance.
The city should enforce heavy fines if landlords fail to do so, and are responsible for keeping them in check.
But If you're a regular poor person and you owe 300 dollars in parking tickets your License gets suspended and you go to Jail if they catch you driving
These are the everyday problems citizens face. But they make sure they collect their rent on the first or get you up out of the building. This is beyond ridiculous
It’s called low income housing you get what you pay for.
Any and all changes made will result in the increase in rent for all tenants. It’s a dirty business
your not a bad tenant WHEN your in an unsafe UNIT DUH!
Problem is that the landlords are broke from the rent moratorium that lasted for so long. Some are still trying to catch up just to go from red to black.
, i have a hard time excepting that a structural column was intentionality replaced with decorative column lacking suffucient load-bearing capacity ?? How could that scenario play out ??
PUT THE LANDLORDS IN THE UNITS THEY rent to these poor hard working people.........NOW!
Why do people live in those conditions u think the city is paying there rent
Many older buildings in NYC are structurally deficient and need immediate attention.
60
Nycha workers arrested good luck
This entire city is a joke.
So much corruption in nyc and people wonder why these buildings are collapsing! These building inspectors are taking big payoffs! A total disgrace!
Landlords can hardly collect rents. The legal system gives tenants adjournment after adjournment with 25, 35, 65 thousand dollars In arrears. How are landlords supposed to do these repairs. With what monetary funds ??
They need to come to my dam build
I've seen fires break and not have emergency stairs last time the ppl had to jump from a 8th floor 😢 1 died
The city and owner is to blame for this. Time for some action.
The city should fix public housing first before fining any private property. Lead by example, they claim full renovation for one unit is 200K, yet only allow a landlord a 15K write off. Democrat lawmakers should be privately sued .
I agree with part of what you said. The City should be doing both at the same time. Fix NYCHA properties that they intend to retain AND crack down on landlords. No real reason why they can't do both.
Stop paying rent until it's paid
Aww man this is so sad
Smh 🤦🏾♀️
Poor news, Tenent don’t even pay rent
The failing government will surely solve this problem
Slumlords must pay son!
Now, do a report on bad tenants. Both sides (bad landlords, bad tenants) deserve equal attention.
WELL MAYBE THE GREEDY LANDLORD SHUDNT RENT TO THE BAD TENANTS. THOS VIDEO IS NOT ABOUT THAT STAY FOCUSED
@ramgood2457 What? They obviously didn't know.
Don’t hold your breath NYers!
THEY NEED TO PLAY ELEVATOR MUSIC
Mayor Adams hads money to give away .... just saying 🤷♂️
These landlord needs their property to be taken from them.
How about we Make America Great Again!
the landlords are to do jail time no doubt..........all they do is cry and you know they would never live in the places they RENT.....LANDLORDS TO jail!
If you believe this one, i have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale LOL!
TENANTS ORGANIZE
RETAIN A LAWYER
START A TENANT STRIKE IN WHICH TENANTS PUT THE MONEY THEY PAY FOR RENT IN EVERY MONTH.
When the landlord fixes EVERYTHING that is on the list of repairs needed to ensure the building is structurally sound AND SAFE and that the apartments that need repaired are fixed THEN the landlord will get his back rent without subjecting the tenants to any penalties or interest!
Form tenant owned housing co-ops and build new housing. Be your own landlords but that means you also need to confront the NIMBYs and road blocks made of redtape. Good landlords drive bad landlords out of business but bad laws drive good landlords out of business. If most of your landlords are bad, I would take a good hard look at why good landlords aren't stepping in. How is NYCHA doing?
@@mwatercress NYCHA is a disgrace too
@@melindahernandez8778 Well then step in and build the housing that is needed. Good landlords drive bad landlords out of business but bad laws and regulations drive good landlords out of a market. If greedy landlords are the problem, public housing or owner-occupied housing co-ops would be the solution. If NIMBYs and counter-productive regulations are the problem, rent strike won't solve it. The problem is there is not enough inventory in your. If there was adequate inventory, those buildings would be vacant. The owner would likely tear them down and build new and more units.
Stop issuing tickets and start taking over the building... they are called slumlords for a reason, 'cause they are not going to fix it. Taking the building and allowing the tenants a chance of ownership if they wish... a win win.
Ohh Rebbi. Why do thy not fix thine apartments ?
Yesss fix it Jesus nyc getting back 🚨🚨🚨🗽🚨🚨🚨🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yea Jesus is going to fix it
Slum landlords of course ! Sad case
Smallhat management likely
there go the deficit right there
James will fix landlords.
I wish the mayor put the same effort in this matter but i guess because we aren’t providing them with all the kickbacks they are getting from migrant contracting we don’t matter. All those kickbacks making them so much money thats why they keep pressing migrants are proving a good economic advantage, for their own pockets. So mr. Mayor please put the same effort on issues that are more important to new York taxpayers who voted on you to do whats right for us and not for corporate pockets.
The building owner probably a rich white man who doesn’t even live in New York
Well...
Cant complain if ypur on section 8!!!
Go pay for regular rent OR LEAVE NYC!!!
YET i can guarantee there are tenants in the SAME building who are NOT paying rent.
800 million
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ new steps to make landlords fix violations that can cause death
, good luck with thst lien , what are you gaining when u inherit all those issues ??
Nyc is doomed.
Ahhhh humans
NYC got it WRONG! Why fine them? For natural ISSUES that every single building will one day face! There shouldn’t be fines the CITY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES !!
The building owner has the responsibility to repair and maintain their property
@@devious100dd these are natural PROCESSES and most of them is due to the CITY ALLOWING big banks to do REAL ESTATE developments far beyond what the land is capable. By disturbing near by land it makes older buildings who are settled in the soil CRACK!
@@devious100dd stop believing RHETORIC
@@HOSPEHLOSHEPH It’s not rhetoric it’s the law.
Why would they fix anything, there's no money in it for them.
Keep on complaining
convert that building into a park!!!! we dont need those kinds of housing
put her face on the news!!! HAHAHAHA
I hope landlords sell and we get to buy and turn them into luxury condos or single family homes!!!!! we dont want you renting on our neighborhood anyways-- maybe jersey is more of your lifestyle
