Interesting you are not including buildings of Brodsky where tenants are afraid to complain.
I live in the apartment below that of Mark Scharfman’s son. His parents lived there for years…they were a problem. The son is nice, but I have suffered repeated damage ….broken pipes, leaks, etc. I met him when he formerly owned the building. Not a nice person…the building continually fought him till he sold out.
Columbus Townhouse 600 Columbus Avenue who is Managed by ELH Management needs to be included in the worst Landlords in the upper west side this building just had a Electrical Fire and alot of Violations and tenants are afraid to complain and report the problems due to retaliation from Management
