US EditionLarge NYC Landlord Accused of Neglecting Buildings Agrees to $2 Million Settlement
The $2.1 million settlement resolves 4,000 violations and tenant harassment claims affecting 750 residents across 14 buildings, marking the largest Anti-Harassment Unit settlement.
- Friday's announcement by Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed a $2.1 million settlement with A&E Real Estate to resolve more than 4,000 violations at 14 buildings across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.
- A&E Real Estate has a long history of violations and tenant lawsuits after years of alleged neglect, and the year-and-a-half legal battle began under former Mayor Eric Adams.
- About 750 tenants are covered by the agreement, with over 1,000 violations corrected and nearly $500,000 in emergency repairs during litigation, HPD officials noted.
- The agreement requires A&E to repair hazardous conditions and comply with court injunctions, with HPD warning it may seek civil contempt motions and emergency repairs if violations continue, while the Mamdani administration plans `rental rip-off` hearings in all five boroughs within 100 days.
- City officials said Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration will use settlements and the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants to hold negligent landlords accountable, while A&E CEO Donald Hastings said they are delivering on a repair plan agreed with HPD.
