564 St Johns: "NYC's 10 worst landlords"

I've lived in this building since 2018, before the original owners went bankrupt and sold the property to Coney Realty. Coney was identified as one of New York City's 10 worse landlords, employing predatory and harassing tactics (see below links). The listings on StreetEasy are totally inaccurate. Almost none of the amenities in this building even exist. And those that do are in terrible condition. The construction in this building is awful, with constant water leaks, uneven floors, drains that smell like raw sewage, doors that don't close or latch, A/C units that leak, etc. This is not a luxury building. It's a joke. Coney will deny every issue you bring up with them or will say they are not responsible and cannot be liable. Even things that are explicitly in your lease (like the sauna and screening room that are in mine) don't exist at all and Coney will tell you they are not obligated to provide these amenities. They are willfully negligent and deceitful. They served eviction notices to low income tenants during COVID-19's eviction moratorium. They will respond to any criticism with threats from their lawyers. Stay away from this building. And if you don't believe me, just read some of the news stories below. https://gothamist.com/news/crown_heights_luxury_building_no_heat https://ny.curbed.com/2017/6/12/15781680/new-york-worst-landlords-stabilizing-nyc https://therealdeal.com/2018/07/10/toby-moskovits-is-fighting-off-a-foreclosure-auction-at-564-st-johns-place/ [less]
