Tenant vs Landlord | 30 Years of Neglect Exposed in Court

Tenant rights attorney. Brooklyn. Our building superintendent Frank died. I cleaned his basement office. Found thirty years of notebooks. 847 repair requests documented. Landlord Gerald Marchetti denied 623. Frank fixed them himself. $67,483 out of pocket over thirty years. Salary: $32,000/year. Frank documented everything. Heat failures. Water leaks. Mold. Roof damage. Marchetti refused all repairs. Why? Found memo November 2010. Marchetti's handwriting: "Frank, we need these old tenants out. The rent-controlled ones. Don't fix things too fast. Let them suffer a little." Landlord told superintendent to make tenants suffer. Frank kept that memo fourteen years. Plus 847 repair requests. Photographs. Receipts. Medical records of tenants sick from mold. Testimony from twenty-three families forced out because conditions unbearable. All documented. Dated. Notarized. Filed lawsuit January 2025. Judge read memo in court. Asked Marchetti: "Did you write this?" No answer. Verdict: $8.7M damages. Building ownership stripped. Community land trust. Permanently affordable housing. Criminal referral. New York passed "Frank's Law" — landlord neglect now criminal. Frank spent thirty years documenting in basement. Died alone. Evidence survived. Destroyed landlord who tried destroying tenants. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you being here.
