My landlord (the Chetrits) is a billionaire, but has trouble paying more than 50 cents for repairs. Recently, NY1 TV did a story on a collapsing building where they are trying to "constructively evict" 2 tenants who have hung in there. Although I am rent stabilize––and a senior with SCRIE (i.e., frozen rent)––they want to raise the rent of my neighbors to $8000/month! Greed never ends and capitalism is based on this principal.

Oops: "stabilized"

Note: I had to sue my landlord to get rent stabilized and get the rent rolled back. It's still high for me, but probably the lowest in Chelsea! (NYC)
