Is NYC enforcing repairs?

The Flatbush Tenant Coalition fights to keep landlords accountable and accountability means consequences for landlords who don’t comply with NYC’s housing code.  But as Sherryann, one of our Coalition leaders, recently uncovered, NYC fails to enforce consequences for landlords who break the law.
