Frustrated residents in two apartment buildings in the Bronx are taking action after they say the landlord has refused to fix dangerous conditions in their apartments.
HPD said it had to hire contractors to make emergency repairs at the building and they plan to charge the owner the $9,500 it cost to make the repairs.
Diaz said she, along with about 20 other residents of the building, have agreed not to pay their rent until the landlord fixes the problems. Last summer, the landlord tried to raise rents on the rent-stabilized buildings. A judge denied the move.
