- ‘A prisoner of my own apartment’: Disabled Brooklyn tenants sue landlord over dysfunctional elevators, no cooking gas for months
Disabled tenants at 1933 Union St. in Brownsville, Brooklyn, are suing landlord Claudette Henry and management company SHINDA over broken elevators, nonfunctional wheelchair lifts, and months without cooking gas, which have hindered their ability to access food and move within the building. Tenants report management has neglected repairs for water leaks, cockroach infestations, and burst pipes, with no response to their requests for fixes.
