whether that will hold up in court if something tragic happens, I don't know, but at least I feel like I did my part in providing a safe home.

When things have to go to court you can take time off or just hand it over to a cheap attorney to file the UD and process them in court.Best of luck!

He was sued by the family and lost I believe it went all the way to the supreme court.

I guess that means he can only deal with other licensees....the broker is protecting the public LOL.Anyway, the OP has recourse against the complaining agent, through the local Board as well as in court, and, I don't see enough details, like a copy of the letter or as to the cause of any complaint to comment.

Clerk of Court recordings here aren't that far behind.  

The old laws on the books, if enforced, were sufficient IMO.I guess the gov't wants all of the hundreds of thousands of people living in "Lonnie deal" homes to instead just rent their homes and deal with the cut-off water, the no air-conditioning repair, the roach and vermin infestation, the leaking toilet, the broken dishwasher that their landlord refuses to repair while the local courts get an influx of eviction cases. 

NY is a unique complex market and it may be just too hard for me to start off investing in.  

I have seen cases where the tax sale was voided in Federal Bankruptcy court after the property was already sold, months before the filing of the bankruptcy.

I have been doing some research, and it seems that if the tenant asks for their rent due date to be changed to coincide with the day they should receive their disability check, then that's considered "reasonable accommodation" under the Fair Housing Act.A judge may consider that PM did not give "reasonable accommodation" to tenant if it went to court.

Chances are you are correct in so far as they are probably building a higher end apartment complex.
