Local attorneys hold forum for Sunset seniors about illegal landlord tactics
A group of local attorneys held a forum for Sunset Park seniors on Wednesday, March 16 after they noticed a spike in local residents voicing their concern about some landlords trying to force them out of their homes through various illegal methods.
Co-counsel and legal representative for the Village of Sunset Park Christopher Robles was joined by local attorneys Delvis Valdes, Richard Villar and Patrick Hayes at the United Senior Citizens Center, 475 53rd Street, to educate seniors in attendance, discuss their individual issues, and offer free advice.
“A lot of the times, there are illegal evictions that are happening in Sunset, and the tenants have rights but don’t know any better,” said Robles.
