Justin Collins is suing the Moinian Group for $60 million, alleging illegal eviction from his rent-stabilized apartment on upscale Lexington Ave. amidst ongoing litigation. He claims that dangerous conditions, including carbon monoxide leaks, forced him to stop paying rent. While he was in court, the landlord rented out his apartment, reportedly while still containing his belongings. Collins asserts this breach of New York law is part of a broader abusive pattern by the landlord, who has faced numerous complaints and fines over the years. Collins aims to hold the Moinian Group accountable for their actions.
For me, this is about them following the law. That's it. And to shine a light on the systemic abuse.
Owners wrongfully circumvented New York City and New York State Law which requires a landlord to evict a tenant in court.
The building has received nearly 400 housing complaints and almost $150,000 in fines and emergency repair bills over the past few years.
