Angry Tenants Take Landlord To Court

A must read about our building from the New York Times Local Blog. Click on the text below to go to the article:

Galron Realty is owned by the Moses family, headed by Henry Moses Jr. Galron bought 114 East First Street for $5.2 million in the summer of 2005, according to the city’s Department of Finance. The Moses family owns several real-estate management companies around the city through Vanderleigh Properties, based in Tuckahoe, not far from Yonkers. (The company’s sparse website says that any similarity with the fictional Vandelay from “Seinfeld” is pure coincidence. Their subsidiaries all bear “Star Trek”-inspired names: Galron, 7 of 8, Borg, Praxis, Vulcan, and others.)

The Galron debacle

As of today, it has been 123 days, that 12 apartments have been without cooking gas: http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/PropertyProfileOverviewServlet?boro=1&houseno=114&street=E+1st+Street&go2=+GO+&requestid=0

Apartments 30. 24, 23, and 13 are empty right now. Consider this before signing your lease agreement!

The video is of the rain coming through the wall of one of three apartments 19, 14 and 9 which occurred on 10/11/10
