Key words: Environment.

Are you somebody who lives in an apartment that is poorly maintained?  Is there damage that hasn't been fixed?  Are there rodents/pests that haven't been controlled?  Are there cleanliness probelms?  Is it because your landlord/property manager does not take care of the property?

Well good news for you all.  The Public Advocate has launched a new website that allows tenants (that would be you) to file complaints about their landlords who are not providing them with safe, liveable housing conditions; and also publicly denounces landlords who get enough complaints.  It's a resource for people looking to rent in NY and people who are already renting.

If you would like to file a complaint about your landlord, visit the website.  The Public Advocate will work with tenants to see that their complaints are addressed.

hah this would have been really helpful when I moved to the city. I hope that the people who make this list (the public advocate - whoever that is) also try and help the tenants get better living conditions! No one deserves to live in filth or in poor conditions - especially when they're paying rent just like the rest of us....

Yeah - It does seem like tenants are taking this seriously - but like I said, I hope this public advocate person (people) are taking it just as seriously and trying to help people get better living conditions
