The nor’easter coming to town on Friday is expected to pass to the southeast of New York City — but it will still make for pretty miserable weekend weather, according to the National Weather Service. Meteorologist Dave Radell said it will be windy, rainy and gray outside, with cooler temperatures than normal. While the rain itself is not expected to cause flooding, Radell said winds from the storm will push ocean water inland, inundating some coastal areas, especially during high tide cycles. gothamist.visitlink.me/Hhh82…

Bad enough #tenants have to go thru⌚ SERIES of inspections-Inspector No-Shows, No appointment #HPD #DOB visit w/NO follow-up, #Landlord False Certifications of Repairs, forcing tenants to start inspection process over-but NOT enforcing Code is DANGEROUS! pix11.com/news/local-news/ny…

Do you suppose there will ever come a day when #NYC #HPD joins the 21st century & uses email (e.g. to confirm an inspection schedule, etc.) & avails itself of all the other digital tools that can be used to actually hold derelict #landlords accountable? @NYCMayor @NYCMOPT @nycpa

So "Cheryl" from #HPD Enforcement finally calls & leaves VM purportedly Re scheduling #MOLD inspection before April; #Tenant returns Cheryl's call, leaves VM offering 3 different dates/times for inspection this week but Cheryl fails to respond (twice). Was it just a CYA call?

3/3 wink, nod, nod world of Mayor's 'City of Yes' where "Inspector" was only here to eyeball the illegal lofts exist & "wants to get this done so he ("Slavik") can get his permits." "Inspector" REFUSED to address CRACKS IN CEILING CAUSED BY GOFMAN'S ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION WORK.

2/3 Safety Inspections or Prior Permission from @NYSHCR. So the TA presumed these would be actual inspections, examining the safety issues caused by the added stress on the structural integrity of our ancient building, etc. But nothing could be further from the Crony System/wink,

4/4 Inspector Rodriguez verbally told our notoriously corrupt #Slumlord, Slavik Gofman, to cure INOPERABLE WINDOW right away-BECAUSE IT’S A FIRE🔥 ESCAPE- #HPD Record of Violation gives #LL until Sept 2023: 5 YEARS AFTER #HPD issued violation ordering #landlord to fix WINDOW.

1/4 Perhaps because @AdolfoCarrion doesn’t want to admit he recklessly ordered our notoriously corrupt #Slumlord Slavik Gofman prematurely discharged from @NYCHousing ‘s AEP in May 2023. Or, perhaps, it’s just more of the same systemic incompetence that has plagued #HPD for years

2/3 But despite Marshal’s referral, that inspection didn’t happen, although Marshal’s came back & looked over rear/south side @ 3rd exposure which CAN be seen from our roof, while 4th exposure CANNOT be seen from our roof which is why prior (2021) Inspectors examined from 181E93.

1/3 Dear @HeyNowJO, in October 2022, @NYC_Buildings Marshal’s Office referred the deteriorating 4th Exposure Facade @ 179 to #DOB Facade Unit & directed them to inspect the EAST exterior which, as you can see from DOB records, can only be seen from 181, the building to our east.
A history of #building complaints; Spalling bricks; Deteriorating Facade; loose & broken mortar; #IllegalConstructionWork putting stress on structural integrity; Noncompliance followed by Epic enforcement fails; Bureaucratic CYA @ the expense of #Tenants’ safety. #Davenport #NYC

1/3 In 2019, the City sued #Slumlord Slavik Gofman for running an illegal enterprise out of 3 bldgs he owns in the Westside of Manhattan & illegal construction work that was such a danger to #tenants & public, @NYC_Buildings issues partial VACATE order. So #NYC demanded $500,000
