Violations for mice and roaches. Window guard. Illegal basement
NYC
Hi everyone,
The tenant that I've been in housing court since June (tenant using textbook excuses to delay court) had the city issue mice, roaches and window guard violations on me before our next court date on 10/15. She even went through the trouble of reporting I have an illegal basement. While attempting to fix this issue, the tenant refuses to communicate with me nor let me into the apartment to inspect. The deadlines are coming up within the next two weeks and I don't want to get penalized by the city for something that is not true. I tried calling the city's violation enforcement agency, but they refuse to pick up or call me back after leaving multiple voice mails.
I am stuck at the moment and stressing out. I'm also afraid that she might use these on court day and further extend this holdover case.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven
