Cornfeld Rats

I have heard through the grapevine about the numerous problems at the Cornfeld ownd building at 2020 Broadway in the UWS of Manhattan, including water damage, fire hazards, work undertaken without permits, and pending roof collapse due to postponed scheduled repairs. The tenant association has even put out a tote bag to commemorate their grit and endurance in survival of inexcusable conditions.

What I endured in court was the psychological equivalent to the apartment conditions. In the same way that repairs and services were denied to rent controlled tenants who were “troublemakers” for them in order to flush them out so that they could in turn feed their greed machine with higher rents, court dates were rescheduled with same day notice, adjournments, and every effort was made to stall and sabotage my efforts, including having the case illegally moved to matrimonial court in order to create a more favorable environment for court proceedings for themselves.

As today is Mother’s Day 2018, I have not recieved a single Mother’s Day card, phone call, or other acknowledgement since 2013. I was finally able to schedule a supervised phone call for tomorrow after weeks of stalling and emails on the Cornfeld end. This , of course, cannot be blamed upon the children, but upon the parents (or rather, lack of parental graciousness and guidance.)

It is no wonder that they are so greatly despised by so many people.
