Landlord Leaves Tenants In The Cold, So They Turn the Heat Up On Him
Tenants of a Bronx apartment building are filing a lawsuit in order to force their landlord to clean up their building.
Seventy people who call 1849 Sedgwick Avenue home, want to remove their current landlord, Mario Milevoi, and have the building’s ownership transferred to an independent administrator.
It’s the first such law suit in the Bronx in three years.
The tenants say there are more than 400 code violations in the 15-apartment building, including holes in the ceiling, broken windows, rodent infestations, and water damage.
But they say the biggest problem is no heat.
Tenants claim Milevoi tried to patch the problem when he found out they were taking him to court.
“He decided that he’s gonna play the game of giving us a little hot water now and then and a little heat and then he would turn it off and we can’t live like that,” said Morris Heights Tenants Association president Eugenie White.
