These people love to collect rent and not maintain the building, holding so many lives in it. Disgusting
@bronxUser1591737017 I’m paying rent we had a gas leak in October until this day we haven’t gotten anything done!!!
This all could have been avoided had the landlord provided heat to the tenants. All of the residents need to ban together and sue the landlord as well as the management company. I pray they also had renters insurance
I live on the 5th floor in the building my things are probably gone thank god my father made it out safe
@NewYorkUser166625010 bro THATS good 👍🏼 lives are more important then stuff from the house
I'm so scared for them all. I know someone who lives there. There are trucks lined up on Arnow Ave waiting to assist. Dear God please protect them all and give them strength to deal with this horrific situation. In Jesus' name, Amen! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen 🙏🏾
