Residents at 709 W. 170th St. are taking matters into their own hands against their neglectful landlord, organizing cleanups and making repairs to combat squalor.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams highlighted how Ohebshalom has been labeled the worst landlord in NYC for two consecutive years due to ongoing tenant abuse.
Tenant-led initiatives at 709 and 705 W. 170th St. have involved intense community cleanup efforts addressing negligence and providing temporary solutions for unsafe living conditions.
The residents' struggle illustrates the dire state of tenant rights in NYC, as they deal with systemic issues of neglect, harassment, and unsafe housing.
