NYC hits landlord with $4M penalties for ‘horror movie’ conditions and illegal hotels
A notorious landlord known for turning empty rent-stabilized apartments into illegal hotels and letting mushrooms sprout from the walls of tenants’ crumbling apartments is facing more than $4 million in penalties from New York City — a sum renters say still won’t be enough to actually fix their problems.
Kessler said he and his roommate were forced to move from their apartment to a neighboring Ohebshalom-owned building following a fire in their building in 2015. He said the tenants have held several rallies and gained the support of various local elected officials, but still can’t get their problems fixed.
