I can't believe someone would pay $2200 a month for that. People are seriously stupid.

A couple of years back someone in East Rockaway was doing the same thing ... although he never let the "tenants" actually move in ... he just collected hefty security deposits several times on a house he didn't own and disappeared.

Maybe Section 8 was paying most of it so the tenant didn't care how much it cost in relation to how crappy it was.

No gloating, my aplogies if it came across that way.

Like I said its not a Baldwin thing at all.
Its a LI thing.

We have crazy slumlord drama in Brookhaven too.

They have been pretty good in giving them hell but next to Heroin these morons are the single greatest threat to the QOL on LI.

What ever happened to dont crap where you eat.
It a small island and getting smaller every day.

It's a Tri-State thing, not that much better in NJ or CT.
Only in America would someone pay rent to someone who didn't own the place. At least the payor had a place to live during that time.
