On Saturday, May 3rd at 5:00 PM, tenants from six Bronx buildings owned by notorious landlord Moshe Piller will hold a press conference to demand accountability, safe housing, and an end to systematic slumlord neglect. (1/5)

Rex Santus, attorney representing the tenants, said the tenants "are not asking for much- just a safe place to live. We shouldn’t have to resort to the courts to get that, but that’s the reality in New York City, and that’s why we’re here today," he said. www.bkreader.com/non-profit-c...

Today, we rallied in front of the Housing Court to support the 552 Dean Street Tenants Association. After enduring years of poor conditions and neglect, we are determined to get justice and hold their landlord, the GMC, accountable. #TenantRights #HousingJustice #NYCTenants
