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.
