I have had very similar experiences with NYCHA and HPD, although my situation is a bit more extreme. Here's a list of what I had happen to me: (a) Tenant breaks her door lock twice in 3 months and then complain to HPD;(b) Tenant broke into MY basement and connected a hose, flooding my front yard for 2 days! my water bill is now 1500.00; call the police and they never show; (c)Tenant breaks her OWN bathroom mirror - something I nevr use and they force me to replace it or else; (d) Tenant has now applied for a relocation voucher and as a result I receive no money until after she moves...but there's a catch; if there are "outstanding violations", I wouldn't get paid...and of course, I can take section 8 to court; (e) Tenant smokes inspite of the fact that I have NO SMOKING signs everywhere. I complain to section 8 and they said "that's not oour problem"; (f) I have requested an inspection over & over to seee what's happening but no one responds until the Tenant calls to complain. I have written to and talked to everyone under the sun (even the Mayor's office) and they all say "take her to court". Taking her to court and get what? why not remove your Tenant?
NYCHA /HPD and whomever else are putting NY Landlords out of business and it's a shame.
