Judge Lewis Bart Stone has ruled Manhattan House tenants have no legal standing to file an Article 78 proceeding to halt the owner's condominium plan.
David Rozenholc, attorney for the Manhattan House Tenants Group, said the decision is wrong and contrary to New York State law decided in 1975. The decision will be appealed.

Now could the tenants' committee do something about the conditions (eg asbestos, fires, floods in apartments, building-wide water shut offs, mice, ruined hallways etc.)? The recent article by David Jones indicates that the tenant committees of other condo conversions have been doing something about such awful conditions for a long time.
I cannot comment on many of the previous complaints as I have not witnessed any of these first hand. However, there does seem to be a problem with having water that is "hot enough" coursing through the pipes. How about the committee focusing on things we have a chance of correcting?
