East Harlem tenants sue landlord over 'unbearable' living conditions

EAST HARLEM - Dozens of tenants of an apartment building in East Harlem say they are fed up with their landlord and are taking him to court.


Tenants in building 118 on East 103rd Street are demanding their landlord start making repairs, or he won't see a dime from them. 


"The landlord has forced us to suffer unbearable conditions, we have rats coming out of the toilet, heat that suffocates us, and doors that don’t even open," said Alex Maison, a tenant, and member of Community Voices Heard.
