If he's that bad, they should seize the properties and bank accounts and use the funds to actually make the fixes. Then either operate them under public housing or sell them off.
Silly human, asking for real justice is so 44BC
Y'all are a bunch of bloodthirsty headline-readers.
Sources don't believe Ohebshalom was targeted because the assailant threatened a number of other people in custody as well.
This isn't a story about a slumlord being targeted for his past harms, it's just a story about how shitty prison safety standards are.
Not exactly the kind of thing I'd personally be celebrating. "Breaking people's face bones" shouldn't be a part of the US justice system, and the fact it was a part of that process - irrespective of the victim crimes - is a disgrace. Probably even worse is the number of stories of things like this that don't get published because the victim isn't click-generating.
Preach it brother!
Even if he was targeted for being a massive piece of shit, this is not a good story worth celebrating.
He used the wrong formula but got the right solution.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s. lemmy
Somebody needs to talk to the Union busting CEOs out there. Remind them that organized labor and negotiation was the alternative to this kind of behavior. Or would they rather return to the days of having the workers show up at their home, knock down the door, and present their grievances in a more forceful fashion?

I'd like that.
Ah remember when factory owners would hire goons to beat up workers for asking for things like days off?
Their hired goons are now in the higher levels of government.
They still do, the Pinkertons are still around. Ask Wizards of the Coast
You mean he's dissatisfied with his housing arrangement?
Yet another excuse to use this gif.
In the two buildings along West 170th Street, the city alleges that Daniel Ohebshalom and his company, Belmont Ventures LLC, have racked up 700 serious violations affecting health and safety of those who live there.
700 serious health and safety violations in just 2 building, holy shit.. that's not negligent, that's homicidal..
At what point does the state confiscate them and auction them off? Give right of refusal to a residents' coop and shake off the parasite.
Right? At 700 violations, I'd expect seizures to start happening WAY sooner. I get that's a lot of paperwork, but at what point do you say "alright clearly you cannot do things properly, so we will take your things and do it for you, nobody has to pay rent until these things are fixed to code. Also the landlord owes us for the fixes."
NYC is super cozy with corporate landlords because they essentially fund everyone's political careers. They bully around their tenants knowing 99% of people are too poor to afford representation, but the moment you get a lawyer they fuck off because they know they're in the wrong.
Something like 80%ish of residential buildings are owned by corporate landlords

Q: What do you call 1000 slumlords at the bottom of the ocean?
A: A good start.
What greed does to a person
and it can affect us all sadly.
i'm totally immune.. give me all the money in the world, and i'll prove it..
It's the first time that landlord has given a shit about something being broken
I hope his hand is okay
Meh. People love to decry prison violence until their chosen guy gets it.
Stay consistent.
Downvotes from children. Nobody brave enough to argue for prison violence?
Edit edit I am astonished with how quickly Lemmy supports prison violence. Very telling of who actually hangs here.
The guy is certainly a piece of shit but I'll still come out against prison violence.
Except one case where two local formed political figures in county jail got into a slap fight about local government. That's pure comedy. Nobody was seriously hurt.
Totally agree with your first sentence
I oppose all violence, but I'm also aware enough of historical loops to know that capital owners in the past have only yielded to violence. Given the repeating patterns of history, it seems that the capital owners are choosing violence and not the other way around.
They could yield, stop lobbying and killing the middle class, but more likely they'll fight to the death. So I expect the public will eventually give them what they seem to be asking for.
You can only pressurize a population so much before it explodes.
I'm all for changing the class dynamic, and that will come with massive upheaval for the capital class.
I don't believe in extra judicial violence, and I don't believe in normalizing prison violence, even for the worst of the worst.
If society has already deemed prison is the right place for someone, that's that. Theres no halfsie wink wink bullshit about "don't drop the soap" or whatever. Even for child molesters, murders, whoever.
Hell I'd even prefer execution or corporal punishment over "hehe try not to get shanked". Obviously i am only referring to the limited choice window of "prison violence or mandated violence" as the only possible options. In reality I think incarceration+ reform is the only just punishment.
