What do you mean BG "lies"? What did they lie about? Did they lie about not receiving your appeal? With anything like an appeal, or anything with the lottery, you need to send it in way so that they're forced to sign for it. If it turned down your appeal, you can appeal directly to HPD, which you can't do until the original appeal is turned down. Bear in mind that you only have 5 business days to file an HPD appeal (which technically is called a complaint). You can send it through the HPD Compliance email. HPD Compliance also has a help line, which is good for quick questions. I've had an awful experience with BG, which is not yet over. Frankly, I think they're handling too many buildings. They're completely incompetent. Good luck.

This happened last fall. Acts are long gone.

They claimed I sent it after the deadline, even though I had proof from the post office as well as a reply via email stating exactly what day I needed to mail it by and I sent it one day before that.

I know they just didn't want to deal with my appeal, the appeal had over 100 pages and I'm sure it was too "much" work for them.

Also I don't give a flying **** if they are handling too many buildings, don't take them on if you can't handle them!

They're total morons over there. I know "morons" is not a PC word, but I don't care. It's the only word that fits. HPD needs to be made aware of Breaking Gound's total incompetence.

I don't even think they are morons. I think they are extremely lazy and fudge things for their benefit.

No. You should call BG to ask about its status (or email them). If they deny your appeal, the next step is to appeal (technically it's a Complaint) to HPD Compiance (you can email or write). If BG denies your appeal, the info for contacting HPD will be at the bottom of the letter.

Ok, I defer to NoirKevin. Do what this poster says. The number for HPD Compliance is 212-863-7990. It's a helpline, and they do pick up and generally give good info. Tell them that BG is ignoring your appeal. They'll ask when you filed it, etc. Let us know what happens.
