Good Morning,
I would like to know my rights. I am in a N.Y.C.H.A complex with 4 children (15,13,7 and 4). I have been without an operating refrigerator going on 3 months now. We have had mold on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom for the last 2 years now. They did finally come to scrape and paint the walls in September, but to no avail. That has returned. My wife has sent in numerous requests to have the refrigerator fixed or replaced and we wash the walls down weekly. When she has called for status, she is told she has to call the "central" office. She is then told they will do a follow up with the manager (by email) and that is all they can do. I have not paid November rent and I would like NOT to pay rent (legally) if it is possible from here on until we can have these issues rectified. What is the way for me to go about doing this? Also, is it possible for me to just go and get my refrigerator and charge it against my rent considering they are not responding?
