Brooklyn man claims landlord is trying to push him out of his $450 apartment with live chickens running in yard and green liquid seeping from the ceiling
A Brooklyn man says he's the victim of harassment by his landlord who is trying to force him from his rent-stabilized, $450-per-month apartment where he's lived for 20 years, he claims in a lawsuit Francis Roberts, 77, said the alleged harassment — which he said includes a property full of garbage and even live chickens — is an attempt by his landlord to force him out of the building.
Legal Services NYC shared photos of the garbage they say litters the hall in front of Roberts' front door.He alleges his landlord, Yehuda Gruenberg, and a tenant who moved into the building in May, are to blame for the poor conditions. The new tenant, Roberts claims, was brought in by Gruenberg to bully him. Roberts contends that Gruenberg wants him out of the unit so that Gruenberg can raise the rent of the apartment and bring in higher-paying tenants.
