In Brooklyn, tenants at 2500 Bedford Ave. are threatening a rent strike against their landlord, Jonah Bamberger, who ranks #16 on New York City's 'Worst Landlords of 2024' watchlist. They cite hazardous living conditions including mold, leaking walls, and lack of essential services such as heat and hot water. Tenants are filing criminal contempt against Bamberger for illegal apartment conversions, which pose safety risks. With 312 open housing violations, they argue that withholding rent is their last option to compel necessary repairs and demand accountability from their landlord.
