A group of Bed-Stuy tenants are asking for a court-appointed executive to replace their landlord, alleging they have been "effectively abandoned" to deal with issues of vermin infestations, roof leaks, inadequate heat, and janitorial services.
Attorneys at the Legal Aid Society filed an Article 7A lawsuit in Brooklyn's Housing Court, stating Food First has failed to complete any significant repairs, depriving tenants of basic services.
"Food First has made it clear that, left to their own devices, they will continue to neglect and mismanage this building, so the tenants have been left with no choice but to seek intervention from the court." - Linda Holmes, The Legal Aid Society
