Housing Repair Actions: Prosecuting Code Violations on Behalf of Low-Income New Yorkers
Thousands of low-income New Yorkers live in apartments that are in a state of shocking disrepair: without functioning appliances, exposed to wind and water, insufficiently heated, or infested with mold and vermin. Landlords who refuse to fix these conditions are in violation of New York City Housing Code. Yet virtually no tenants who attempt to enforce that code can afford an attorney. This pro bono project pairs volunteer attorneys with low-income tenants who have been screened by Legal Services NYC. The training walks volunteers through all key aspects of housing repair actions.
