violent retaliation to complaints about lack of hot water
Former Tenant
Pros:
location was right next to a good park, and close to CUNY and the subway; the rent was a bit less expensive than comparable units in other buildings
Cons:
regularly did not have hot water (or would take between 2-15 minutes after turning on the faucet); neighbors had heat issues that led at least one to go a whole winter without working heat; super (Eric) was incompetent and threatened violence from himself and his friends when we kept complaining about the lack of hot water; property owner supported the super after these interactions. We were ready to take them to housing court, but we decided that it wasn't worth continuing to feel unsafe, so we broke our lease and moved out.
By the way, it's definitely a red flag that the owners use many business names to obscure where their money comes from, including Duna Real Estate, Orion Investments, PGLB LLC, and PGLB I LLC, even though it all seemed to tie back to Hagai Barlev, Lee Baum, and Uzy & Amit Evron
Advice to owner:
nothing for you
