Tenants from three adjoining buildings on 23rd Street will hold a rally to protest their landlord, Shea Sigal, for depriving them of heat, hot water, and timely lease renewals. Sigal ranks 17th on NYC's Worst Landlords List with six housing violations per building. Tenants have endured harsh conditions, including not having heat during bitter cold spells, prompting them to initiate a rent strike. The rally on February 5 will also feature support from local officials and tenant advocacy groups.
The tenants have been deprived of basic rights, including heat during several record-cold weather snaps, leading to a rent strike in March 2024.
Tenants claim they face harassment from their landlord and have logged six housing violations and tax liens against each of the three buildings.
