Definitely slum lords! They allowed heat/hot water to be turned off in one of their buildings for 10 days with response. They are trying to sell of their properties and have allowed their buildings to fall into decay: pests rampant, mold, water damage, poorly constructed internal stairs. They will not authorize any kind of repairs (for leaks, mold, faulty machinery), they will take your money) and don't care whether they get reported to NYC HPD. If you search their name you can find dozens of stories about how they've treated tenants across Brooklyn.
