Ten Tenants Have
More Leverage
Than One.
If your landlord is ignoring repair requests, withholding heat, or retaliating against tenants — chances are your neighbors are suffering too.
We organize and represent entire buildings in coordinated legal actions against landlords and management companies. You bring your neighbors. We bring the case.
Is Your Whole Building
Dealing With the Same Problem?
If your landlord is doing it to you, they're almost certainly doing it to your neighbors. That's when individual complaints become a coordinated action — and that's when landlords start to listen.
No Heat or Hot Water
A landlord who ignores one tenant's heat complaint will ignore all of them. When the whole building files together, Housing Court moves fast and fines are building-wide.
Pest Infestations
Roaches, mice, and bedbugs don't stop at one unit. Building-wide infestation is a systemic landlord failure — and building-wide evidence is much harder to dispute in court.
Mold & Water Damage
When multiple units have leaks or mold, the source is almost always a common building system the landlord has refused to fix. We document the pattern across every unit.
Coordinated Harassment
Landlords trying to push out rent-stabilized tenants typically target multiple units at once. A pattern across tenants is far more powerful than individual harassment complaints.
Building-Wide Rent Overcharge
A landlord who overcharged one rent-stabilized tenant likely overcharged many. We review every participating unit's rent history and pursue treble damages on each.
Construction Harassment
Landlords use "renovation" as a harassment tactic — creating uninhabitable conditions building-wide to push out stabilized tenants. When multiple tenants document it, the intent is clear.
Illegal Lockouts
When multiple tenants have been illegally denied access, the pattern turns a housing dispute into a serious civil rights matter with compounding damages exposure for the landlord.
Same Management Company, Multiple Buildings
We pursue landlords across their entire portfolio. If a management company is failing multiple buildings, we bring coordinated actions across all of them simultaneously.
HPD Violations Ignored Building-Wide
When HPD issues violations across multiple units and the landlord ignores them, that's the foundation for an HP Action on behalf of the entire building — not just individual tenants.
Fighting Alone vs. Fighting Together
The number of tenants involved materially changes the landlord's legal exposure — and therefore the outcome you can achieve.
❌ One Tenant Alone
- 😕Single DHCR complaint — easy to ignore or delay
- 😕Landlord disputes your specific account of events
- 😕Small damages exposure — landlord may prefer to litigate
- 😕Legal fees hard to justify for small individual case
- 😕Landlord can isolate, pressure, or retaliate against you
- 😕Housing Court sees individual complaints every day
- 😕Landlord continues the same behavior in other units
✅ Building-Wide Action
- 💪Coordinated HP Action covering every affected unit at once
- 💪Pattern of conduct is documented and undeniable
- 💪Cumulative damages exposure forces the landlord to settle
- 💪Shared legal representation — more firepower per tenant
- 💪Retaliation against one becomes retaliation against all
- 💪Media attention and public pressure become available tools
- 💪Forces systemic repair of building-wide conditions
From First Call to Landlord at the Table
Every Tool We Use to Fight Your Landlord
HP Actions (Housing Part)
Filed in Housing Court to compel repairs. When filed on behalf of multiple tenants simultaneously, the court sees the full scope of negligence — and the landlord's exposure multiplies.
DHCR Coordinated Complaints
Filing coordinated complaints with the Division of Housing and Community Renewal across multiple rent-stabilized units dramatically increases regulatory scrutiny and the likelihood of a formal proceeding.
Treble Damages for Rent Overcharge
Under HSTPA 2019, willful rent overcharge carries treble damages — three times the overcharge amount, going back six years. Applied across multiple units, the landlord's exposure compounds fast.
Harassment Injunctions
When a landlord harasses multiple units, we seek injunctive relief in Supreme Court — stopping the conduct while the case proceeds and signaling we are prepared for serious litigation.
HPD Violation Enforcement
Building-wide HPD violation records become evidence in Housing Court. A landlord with hundreds of open violations across a building is a landlord in serious legal jeopardy before we file a single motion.
Media & Public Pressure
A building full of tenants with documented, systematic abuse is a story. We connect clients with tenant advocacy organizations and media when press coverage serves the case strategy.
Portfolio-Wide Pursuit
If the landlord or management company owns multiple buildings, we don't stop at one. We coordinate actions across every building where tenants are being harmed at the same time.
Anti-Retaliation Protection
NY Real Property Law §223-b prohibits retaliation against tenants who organize. When a landlord retaliates against one tenant for collective action, every tenant in the group gains an additional claim.
Landlords and Management Companies We Know How to Pursue
Private Equity Landlords
Firms acquiring rent-stabilized portfolios and systematically neglecting maintenance while pressuring tenants to vacate. We track their full NYC portfolio and coordinate across buildings.
Third-Party Management Companies
Management companies — not just owners — can be held liable for conditions and harassment. We name the management company in every applicable action we file.
HPD Worst Landlord Watchlist
HPD publishes its Worst Landlord Watchlist publicly. If your landlord appears on it, their violation history is already documented and we can build a coordinated tenant action immediately.
Construction Harassment Operators
Landlords who obtain renovation permits they never intend to complete — creating dust, noise, and uninhabitable conditions building-wide to force out stabilized tenants.
Serial Rent Overchargors
Landlords who systematically overcharge rent-stabilized tenants across an entire building. When we file for one unit, we review every unit's rent history for overcharge claims.
Illegal Short-Term Rental Operators
Landlords converting rent-stabilized units to Airbnb while pressuring remaining tenants through neglect. Building-wide documentation is critical to proving the pattern and intent.
