Honestly lawyers are expensive and corporate landlords know that. The reality is they bank on the fact that most folks dealing with collapsing ceilings or black mold in their apartments can't afford to hire legal representation to actually fight back so they just ignore the maintenance requests. I prefer to level the playing field so we decided to just bring the lawyers directly to the neighborhood for free instead. Through The Rising Tide Fellowship we're organizing a pop-up legal clinic to help tenants coordinate real legal action.
And the paperwork for an Article 7-D petition can be highly confusing to navigate alone. One small mistake can get your case thrown right out of housing court which is exactly what these out-of-town LLCs are hoping for so we aren't going to let that happen. Partnering up with some solid local housing attorneys allows us to walk folks step-by-step through the process of legally paying rent into court until critical repairs are finished. Hitting these absentee property owners right in their balance sheets is how we build tangible tenant power without begging a broken municipal system for favors.
Just the arduous slow-moving reality of the work.
I highly recommend bringing your lease and any photos of ignored maintenance requests to the meeting. Let's build something beautiful.

We don't just sit around complaining about the housing crisis while absentee investors hollow out the Lovejoy and Masten districts. The reality is corporate entities like HELP USA and various LLCs based outside the city operate with near-total impunity because they rely heavily on the isolation of individual tenants to prevent any coordinated pushback. When we organize a single duplex over in the Fillmore Gibson area and stand on a porch listening to a neighbor describe the black mold growing in their child's bedroom we document those ignored maintenance requests specifically to figure out how to legally weaponize the data. Just the arduous slow-moving reality of the work.
And we aren't asking the state to come save us. Through The Rising Tide Fellowship we actively execute what we call The Squeeze. Instead of fighting isolated battles in housing court we help neighbors coordinate mass legal action using Article 7-D of the New York State Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law. We help tenants legally withhold their rent in pocket escrows until critical repairs are made which constricts the profit margins of these corporate landlords and hits them right in their balance sheets (because begging a broken municipal system for help is basically a waste of breath at this point). Breaking their bank accounts legally is the practical application of Intersectional Pacifist Social Anarchism. Shifting the power dynamic away from the property owner directly into the hands of the folks actually inhabiting the buildings is how we build real counter-institutions.
