From Kucher Law Group Injury Attorney - In our latest podcast episode, we dive deep into the critical topic of "How to Sue My Landlord for Unsafe Living Conditions?" Join us as we explore the legal rights of tenants under New York law, focusing on the essential "warranty of habitability." This fundamental right ensures that rental properties are free from hazardous conditions that could endanger the safety and well-being of tenants.
Our discussion covers the Housing Stability & Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA), highlighting the expanded duties of landlords to maintain their properties. We explain how the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) categorizes violations into non-hazardous (Class A), hazardous (Class B), and immediately hazardous (Class C) classes, each with specific requirements and penalties for landlords who fail to comply.
Listeners will learn about the various types of unsafe living conditions, including structural dangers, health hazards, and fire safety violations. We provide practical advice on how tenants can document these conditions, communicate effectively with their landlords, and take necessary steps to ensure their rights are upheld. Key strategies include conducting detailed inspections, taking photographs and videos, and maintaining a written log of all issues and communications.
Finally, we discuss the process of filing an HP Action, a powerful legal tool for tenants facing unresponsive landlords. From visiting the Housing Court’s Clerk’s Office to serving a summons and following up on court orders, we guide you through each step. Tune in to understand your rights and learn how Kucher Law Group's experienced Brooklyn premises liability lawyers can assist you in holding negligent landlords accountable and securing a safer living environment.
