"I moved there in October of 2020, because the building was offering like two free months for people to move in, because that was the time when everybody was leaving the city. Landlords were just desperate to get people in. Been there since."
"The way I found out [about Giannis] was kind of insane. I remember scrolling on Twitter one day, and all of a sudden I saw a screenshot from this trade organization that announces when famous people buy apartment buildings. The first thing I remember seeing was my address. I was like, Why am I seeing my address on Twitter? That's crazy. Then I saw Giannis, his face on it, and there was a moment where I didn't believe it, and I was very confused."
A tenant living in a Brooklyn building owned by Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has been without heat since February 23 following a blizzard. New York City law requires building owners to maintain apartment temperatures of at least 68 degrees during daytime and 62 degrees at night between October and May when outdoor temperatures drop below 55 degrees. The tenant discovered Antetokounmpo's ownership through a Twitter post from a trade organization announcing celebrity real estate purchases. The tenant, a longtime Bucks fan, attempted to contact the two-time MVP through Instagram direct messages. When contacted, a Bucks spokesperson declined to comment, and the property management company and Antetokounmpo's agent did not respond to inquiries.
