Tenants at 552 Dean Street in Prospect Heights rallied in front of Kings County Housing Court, initiating a trial amid ongoing issues with their landlord, Gilman Management Corp. Residents have been engaged in a rent strike for over a year, citing neglect, including pest infestations, mold, and broken heat. They have launched a Housing Preservation proceeding due to numerous outstanding violations and complaints against the landlord. Tenant leaders express deep frustrations about living conditions, while their attorney emphasizes the need for basic safety and living standards in New York City.
I've been exposed to vermin, plumbing issues, broken floors, security concerns, basement sewage and odor problems, no hallway cleaning... We came together to fight against this cruelty to save ourselves and save the roof over our heads.
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.
