Tenants from three buildings in Crown Heights protested on Sunday claiming their apartment buildings are not fit for families.
Michelle Stamp lives in 1392 Sterling Place. Three generations of her family grew up there.
After the owner died, she says no one has taken responsibility for the upkeep of the building. So she and her neighbors began a rent strike 18 months ago. Five months ago, another building at 1074 Eastern joined the rent strike. Also under the same ownership."We have a lot of plumbing problems, leaks, lobby, every few months, leak on the second floor. The whole ceiling will come down," said Desra Lawrence.This bathroom is not even tiled.At this point, it is not just about renovations anymore. Tenants want to purchase their buildings and take care of them as only homeowners can.
