`These are the 100 worst landlords in the city, based on their number of building

`
`NEW YORK, NY — Public Advocate Letitia James put 100 of the city's worst
`landlords on blast Thursday when she dropped her annual, highly anticipated
`list of the 100 Worst Landlords in New York City. The vast majority of landlords
`on the list each own a handful of buildings around the city — many in multiple
`boroughs.
`
`ADVERTISEMENT
`
`The landlords are ranked from worst (No. 1) to least-worst (No. 100), based on
`the total number of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations
`and Department of Buildings (DOB) violations at each of the properties they
`own.

`"Apartments free of mold, vermin, rodents and harassment aren't luxuries,"
`James said on Twitter. "These are basic rights that no tenant should be denied."

`
`At the top of this year's Worst Landlords list is Harry D. Silverstein. Silverstein
`is a regular on the list: He finished No. 2 in 2015. He owns eight buildings — one
`in the Bronx, two in Queens and five in Brooklyn — which accumulated a total
`of 2,032 HPD violations and 50 DOB violations.
`
`A cursory review of some of Silverstein's properties on the HPD website reveals
`a laundry list of complaints by tenants. The worst building by number of
`violations is 39-30 59th Street in Woodside, Queens — with 365 total
`violations. Currently open violations at the Queens building include roaches,
`mold, missing smoke detectors and leaky ceilings.
`

`
`At 3971 Gouverneur Ave. in the Bronx, a building also owned by Silverstein,
`there are 250 violations, including currently open violations for mice, roaches,
`leaky faucets, broken locks and water dripping from ceilings. Violations are
`broken down by Class A, Class B and three types of Class C violations; the

`Silverstein racked up 38 Class C violations — the worst category — in that one
`Bronx building alone.

`
`Ved Parkash, who took top "honors" on James' list in 2015, fell to No. 5 this
`year. He had more than 2,200 violations in his buildings last year; that number
`was down to 992 HPD violations and 28 DOB violations this year.
`
`“The Landlord Watchlist is a critically-important resource for tenants,
`advocates and elected official,” Mayor Bill de Blasio, who started the annual list
`as Public Advocate in 2010, said in a statement. “It helps us enforce our laws
`and, ultimately, ensure that landlords provide the safe and decent homes New
`Yorkers are entitled to. Public Advocate James has done an excellent job as she
`focuses on and improves this tool, and I look forward to continue working with
`her as we protect affordable housing throughout our City.”
