No heat, pests and a broken elevator in a six-story building. Brooklyn tenants demand repairs
About a dozen Brooklyn tenants marched in the rain on Sunday to demand their building manager and landlord address needed repairs in their buildings.
Tenants of Joseph Popack, who owns 46 buildings in Crown Heights, Brownsville, Flatbush and East Flatbush, took to 438 Kingston Ave. to push for a response from their building manager roughly two months after they delivered a 150-signature petition requesting a meeting.
Residents complained of untreated mold, vermin from garbage pile-ups, inadequate heat and lack of communication from management.
