spideysensetingling wrote:Housing Court doesn't seem to be an option since "other half" just wants me out. They haven't made any moves to legally evict me, maybe because they wanted to avoid court, (but found themselves in court anyways!)
spideysensetingling wrote:"Other half" did post 30-day termination letters on everyone's apt doors at one point but that was BS and another scare tactic.
spideysensetingling wrote:Nobody has been collecting my rent in months (but I am saving it up just in case).
spideysensetingling wrote:The "other half" just wants me out and the "LP" hasn't been involved since becoming co-owners because of the "other half"'s continued obstruction and why "LP" has taken "other half" to court.
spideysensetingling wrote:Yes the tenants in Supreme Ct. are represented by lawyers and Legal Aid org's and I have been speaking with some of those attorneys for advice and to keep abreast of how the cases are proceeding while also looking up the cases on eCourts WebSupreme.
spideysensetingling wrote:I just recalled there was a task force from the NYS Attn. General's office sent here a few months ago and both DOB and HPD must've been here along with Special Investigators etc. The Attn. Gen's office, has supposedly taken an interest in the case brought by the tenants in my bldg because of the alleged harassment and discrimination.
spideysensetingling wrote:I don't think there's any structural damage as of yet as far as I can tell, though along with plaster there was some concrete that fell in. I can see all the way up to the upper floors through the hole in my ceiling and it still looks sound so far. I hope.
spideysensetingling wrote:Yes 5-story tenement almost as you describe, but could be a different bldg?

Yes, I'm interested.

TenantNet wrote:RS renewal leases must be on the RTP-8 form. If that's what the tenant has, it supports your claim to being RS.
TenantNet wrote:What you should be after is a) a determination of your RS status, and b) your legal rent over time, and c) overcharges and penalties.
TenantNet wrote:That means the LL would have to commence the proceeding.
TenantNet wrote:This is still confusing. Are there 2 halfs plus the LLC?" What's an LP?
