"We cannot stand idly by while landlords neglect addressing the basic maintenance demands of tenants. Tenants at 480 E 188th Street have waited long enough for action while living in inhumane conditions that affect their physical and mental health, as well as their day-to-day security," said State Senator Gustavo Rivera of the 33rd district in the Bronx.
