Guliani was a idiotic very cruel mayor who hated anyone, not lucky enough to be making 36, thousand a year or more after taxes. New York has rent more higher than the rest of the country, due to greedy crook landlords. Rent control laws have been eroded, thanks to Koch who was really a Republican, Pataki, Guliani. Dhcr since Guliani became mayor does not check to see if rates are true that landlords are registering there. Landlords are doing rate sneaking there, circumventing rent control laws.

Any sro, hotel, if it was open 1969 or before in the original building it is rent stabilized. You have to pay the nightly rate to get in. Even after 5 minutes after registration you can present them a lease request. You are than a permanent tenant subject to rent stabilization laws under hotel sro rent stabilization laws. Lease request made out by lsny legal services 90 john street. Roslyn Black Esquire handles it, or the Goddard center aka west side sro project 110th and Manhatten avenue

It is illegal for sro landlords to throw you out after you make a lease request but they do it because they are crooks, and to circumvent rent stabilization laws. Right after you present the clerk with a lease request, he is going to say get out. You run back to your room, and say I"m not leaving unless the police comes. Save your receipt. It is very inportant, and only record you wher there. When cops comes you say you made a lease request, show literature it is illegal to do illegal eviction

In most cases because police are non compliant to rent stabilization laws, the police will illegally throw you out. Get their badge numbers. You then have to do to housing court and do a show cause to get back in. It is at 111 center street. You then get a lawer from either lsny 90 john street if it is on the east side, Goddard center west side sro project 110th and manhatten avenue if it is on the west side.

With happened to me after I presented a lease request at the senton hotel 27th between Broadway, and 6th avenue, I was illegally thrown out. Police totally ignored the legalities of the rent stabilization laws. I filed a show cause to get back in. Landlord filed fraud at Dhcr. He put down rent was 2,000 a week in 2001, 2002, 3,000 A week. 2,000 it was listed 79 a week. He did not file for a cirtificate of no harassment which he would of had to do plus get permits for major work projects.

Judge Hahn who never did a case like that, the lawer said ruled in favor of the landlord. Lawer said not to appeal it because it could take a year. Law was on my side. He told me to try another sro which I"m going to do tomorrow. Same thing is liable to happen. Landlords are crooks, Judges, Police do not do their jobs, allow crook deeds to fester. Dhcr government allow crook landlords deeds to happen. These Squatters are supported by me 1000 percent, to go aganst greedy New York landlords.

It was not a real trial. Judge Hahn told me, and the landlord to go outside the coutroom. I never had a chance to speak to judge. There was no cross examining of facts, each other. She told lawers to write their cases on pieces of paper. she would read both papers, and make up her mind. Case was decided behing closed doors. Was not a real trial. That was why I lost. I"m very angry. Lawer told me he could not appeal because of lack of funds to do it. Victory for evil landlord, Judge, Dhcr fraud.
