Im being bullied
What are the landlords responsibility when there is a bully. I live in a 3 apartment building and I am constantly being yelled at and called names by a woman who lives in one of the apartments. Last week she pushed me. The landlords tell me that there is nothing they can do. I live in a rent control building. Last year a woman who lived here for 15 years moved out because of this bully. Now she is focused on me. Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

You need to call the police each and every time you are threatened or physically harassed. Your neighbors need to do the same. You need to make sure that all incidents are reported and that you have the incident report number. Your landlord needs to be informed of each and every incident, with the report number. The landlords can and should evict a tenant who is breaking the terms of their lease. Your neighbor's behavior is in violation of most basic lease terms. The police can advise if you should obtain a restraining order. If you get no resolution after reporting repeated documented incidents, step it up and get to a legal aid attorney. Document everything.
