Are these legal apartments? Why don't you move?

It looks like you've done all you can - I know you've tried the Health Department. Have you tried your local housing inspector?

Of course, if these are illegal apartments you will all be ordered to move but the landlord won't be able to collect rent OR re-rent them.

My other advice would be to remove your names from this post - info concerning you and the other tenants is available on line and I don't know if you want that known.

EDIT: If the on line records are correct this property is owned by the NYC Housing Authority. Is that correct - ?

(Question posted twice)

AllI can see is move, the damage is way to serious to even have someone living there while it is being fixed.

And how long have you lived there, if the apartment is this bad and you have recently moved in, why did you rent something so bad.

Wow. If the landlord stopped asking for rent and you haven't heard from this person are you sure something hasn't happened to him/her like death? Or jail? It's possible I guess, which would mean that you're currently living in an abandoned house technically and literally - from the description it seriously sounds like you should move. Good luck.

The building appears to be owned by the Housing Authority - OP originally posted the address.

Something else is going on.

Thanks to all but I have moved to New Jersey to a complex house thanks for the concerns I was trying to help my mother in-law but she decide to stay so now it's on her
