This slumlord’s new plan is trying to vacate all the tenants in 13-15 Essex Street buildings, by moving in new tenants who’s willing to pay market rents. Or simply demolish these two buildings for a new development such as the near-by 7 Essex St Condo building. The slumlord’s usual tactics are used here: break tenants’ mailboxes so mails got stolen, not renewing tenants’ leases and claiming tenants are ‘not living in their apartments’ and bring them to court.
Lower East Side now is a gem to many greedy slumlords like Baruch Singer. They will continually buying properties here in LES and keep doing illegal activities in LES. We urge Observer’s staff keep an eye on these slumlords to speak for us, for we are helpless when dealing with big shot lawyers they are hiring.
I have been living in LES for more than 25 years. I have witnessed the ups and downs in LES. I have had a great respect for the Jewish people here in LES, for myself had worked in a Jewish store when I was in High School. The store owners like many Jewish people I met were friendly and hardworking. But this impression has been twisted to the opposite way – greedy and evil, with Baruch Singer’s evil evacuation of LES long time tenants.
