Sold a lemon? (apartments, lease, new home)

[kingelz83]

Hello,

I just closed in on a Mitchell Lana unit in Brooklyn. My lease started on sept 1st and ever since the following has happened:

Pipe burst in the kitchen leaving water damage on the walls and cabinetry. The super actually sawed off my window guard to enter without my knowledge.

The bathroom sink pipe was damaged and I had to wait over a week for a maintenance guy to replace it

My bathroom diverter is broken and the water is coming from both top and bottom. Another issue that they have to come by to fix. It is now 22 days into my lease and the place seems to be having a plethora of issues that should have been checked before selling it to me.

Any suggestions on what I can do? It's almost to the point where I am having buyers remorse, and I've already plunked down 30k to buy into this place.

I've bought and sold several homes over the years, but never a ML property. Was there a home inspection before you purchased?

Also, these are major inconveniences, but relatively minor in the grand scheme of things that can go wrong with a new home. Maybe bring in your own plumber and get a professional opinion if the plumbing issues are isolated or if they think you will have more problems going forward. To me it would be worth the cost.

By law owners of building and or their representatives can access apartments without seeking permission first if there is an emergency. Pipe bursting counts as one of such emergencies.

I wonder how the op resolved all the issues?
