The mayor and town officials are at fault. All these people shouldn't be homeless over needed repairs. They shouldn't have condemned the building. They should have only condemned the unlivable units and then found temporary housing for them until the work was finished under threat of jail if the owner doesn't do it in like two weeks. They don't know how to run the city. They just blame the owners who only just bought the property a couple of years ago. These repairs were needed for a LONG TIME.
This is the result of rent control. Forced to charge below market rates for a lot of tenets but raise property taxes and insurance rates and there is nothing left for maintenance.
Uhm, no, this has been a scam. They have not been taking care of buildings and they keep charing higher rent. People can't afford to move out, and the town officials are all paid off by these corporate slum lords. This has been the scam.
@@ElevatedEssentials201 Yes I agree. The starting rent for this unlivable dump was $1,500. That means they were getting well over $63,000 a month with forty-two units. They can pay for taxes, repairs, etc. They just want to get rich and destroy the poor.
@@Babu-kr3cr you must not understand how much property taxes probably are. most likely they're doing this on purpose so they can wreck the buildings and make luxury apts
This is the result of disgusting greedy real estate industry people pocketing rent payments for the past year knowing damn well that major repairs needed to be done, so that they can not only force these people out to sell the property to a company that will gentrify the area into a predominantly white, high priced area, but so that he could also collect their monthly rent during that year long wait. Fuck landlords and realtors.
I hope these people find decent representation and sue the crap out of the city, the landlord, and the company that’s acquiring the properties. The real estate industry is disgusting. We have not improved much since the era of tenement housing. This is foul.
They will probably sell the building and because there is no one living there and there is so much wrong with the building they will get permits to tare it down and build condos or expensive apts. The nee owners will be under no obligation to move the old tenants back in and they will rent tge apts at alot higher rent
If communities form groups they can go around identifying health and building codes violations at these places. That’ll go a long way to put the kibosh on any plans to pump your neighborhoods full of illegal migrants. Keep a lawyer or two on retainer to help push through the complaints Ideally you want to make it as unprofitable a proposition for slumlords as possible
Except that's not what happened here. Afaik the narrative is thus: 1 year ago: City acted on numerous complaints, issued fines. Company ignored fines. City notified company it would tear down building. Company did not tell anyone living in building about that. The city also failed to notify anyone LIVING THERE that fines had been ignored and demolition would happen in 2023. Company continued to sign leases, move in tenants. Then, after paying their rent diligently, residents were given 3 days notice to gtfo with anything they could carry and everything else they owned would be demolished with no compensation. So who you SHOULD be hunting is scumbag rich people and their slimebag companies lying to and stealing from those brown people you hate so much and tricking them into signing leases on properties that have been condemned knowing that they will be too poor to hire a lawyer to sue the slumlord. You are almost there being mad at the slumlords. But you just hate brown people sooo much that you still want to make it their fault even when they were the people being exploited. Fool.
These towns know that these slumlords exist. People complain all the time. You literally have to go back and back and back until you find someone not on their payroll.
I had to deal with one and wound up in a shelter years ago. Jews in Brooklyn have been doing this for years and put the buildings in another family members name after every one is gone. It's cheaper than going to court. They are greedy.
The owners aren’t going to fix anything, and that’s very deliberate. They want these people out so that they can sell the property to a company that will build higher priced apartments there, that they will then let fall into disrepair yet again and repeat the cycle. It’s about making money off of desperate people.
City notified the company 1 year ago. Company hid it/kept it quiet. City did not notify residents until 3 days before showing up with a demolition crew, cops and chains.
The landlord is definitely culpable, but Mayor Adrian Mapp and the city should have responded by averting a crisis, not causing one. These residents need to be put up in decent lodging, and assisted further with all the costs this disruption is exacting on them. Mayor Mapp should not be permitted to facilitate another land grab by greedy developers. Mapp walks all over Black residents, immigrants, the poor, and the marginalized. People need to stand in solidarity against this.
Those are beautiful old historical buildings that used to be very nice and clean and livable in the seventies. They have been allowed to fall into RUIN.
@@ElevatedEssentials201 Why does that keep happening. All of these tacky luxury apartments that all look the same and that only a few people in a housing lottery can get into for fair market rent.
@Babu-kr3cr they are trying to make housing a luxury that only a few rich can afford. The rest of us can work and be homeless, and we will fight each other for the scraps because the poor refuse to come together they continue to divide us and keep us down.
she wants to know about school uniforms via her mail what she is a illegal and her kids are going to a private school that makes my blood boil when I couldnt no longer afford it and had to pull our child out and send her to a public school!!!!!!!!!
Yea unfortunately it's a huge influx of latinos in Plainfield it's still blacks more so on the east end but alot of blacks moved down south or to pennsylvania.
😂😂undocumented illegal immigrants can stay in a sanctuary city forever, they are protected. And supported by the city, it's their blue wave they voted for.
Time to get these savages out and refurbish the building, if you want to rent 650 credit score or better and a job where you make at least 3x the rent !!
So true get the people out of the building and think they're middle class sorry to say there's no more middle class sorry to say there's no more middle class okay you should be mad at the billionaires and the corporation jackass gets some education
There is probably a spot for you in hell. The language you speak has zero bearing on your financial responsibility. Tell me, after your mother drank alcohol during your pregnancy, did she also smoke crack, or did you start smoking crack on your own?

Truth!
Send help to middletown ny. Everyone in park hill housing are suffering from mange its in our tap water!!!
@@offdutytootieBooBoo Mange??? Like when an animal has parasites that make its hair fall out???
Building owners should be in jail.
They should’ve went to the post office. The building is condemned so the mail man won’t be able to deliver the mail
How the hell could they live like that. Where was the authority to at least know about the condition of these buildings. Someone has to take blame. 😮

I hope they keep vigil to see if they actually repair it or if they see people move in ! 😡
They should have never been there
SUE, SUE, SUE.
We call them slumlords we're I come from. City has some responsibility . That shit didn't happen over night.
I had to deal with one and wound up in a shelter years ago. Jews in Brooklyn have been doing this for years and put the buildings in another family members name after every one is gone. It's cheaper than going to court.
They are greedy.
No it took decades of rent control to do this!
City notified the company, but not the tenants a year ago. That should be illegal.
@@fleabag2mr.151 I bet 10 bucks you were paid by slumlords to post that moronic thought.
@@ThePoliticalBulldog Even so, they couldn't have found another place that was that affordable.
It seem like they being targeted
class action lawsuit should be in places! this is so heartbreaking
Hopefully the buildings can be quickly fixed and the owners can contract with NYC and move asylum seekers in and charge a premium rate.

if you don't own land, then you yourself are owned.
Like it just started over night. Smh

Shut the building down. Better to be safe than sorry. Just put a few more cots in the school gym and everyone will be happy and safe.
That was the worst day of my life 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
Bet you I know what kind of people owns those buildings. Lol
The state is offering 1.5 millions in aid of displacement needs. Couldn’t they gave the slum lord 500k to fix the repairs. This doesn’t add up.
Those buildings should be knocked down and rebuild
Into condos that no one in the neighborhood can afford. Because that is what will happen.
Those are beautiful old historical buildings that used to be very nice and clean and livable in the seventies. They have been allowed to fall into RUIN.

Do they have landlords in N.J.? Or this is the only one?
she wants to know about school uniforms via her mail what she is a illegal and her kids are going to a private school that makes my blood boil when I couldnt no longer afford it and had to pull our child out and send her to a public school!!!!!!!!!
Public schools also send notifications about...uniforms etc...although everything is done online.
What part did she mention her kids are in private school?
She pay rents no city programs here I heard someone said pay there 3,500 a month in that building
@@elizabethtejada2251 Stop.. lol, no one was even paying any real rent.. and you know it.
