Raw Sewage Gushes Through Light Fixture at the Marx Brothers Childhood Home 179 East 93rd Street NYC

At approximately 1:30PM on Friday afternoon, October 9, 2020, raw sewage came gushing through the entryway light fixture at 179 East 93rd Street in Manhattan - which is the historic childhood home of the Marx Brothers - flooding and contaminating the hallway and threatening to contaminate tenants’ homes as the unsanitary and stool laden water rushed toward their front doors.

Watch the video here: 

This dangerous and unhygienic condition has been a threat to the health and safety of Tenants for more than a decade as the building owner and landlord, Slavik Gofman - a notorious NYC landlord who has been named to the NYC Advocate's List of the Worst NYC Landlords and is currently being sued by the City of NY due to his deceptive and fraudulent business practices and countless unpaid DOB, HPD & DOH Violations which leave his Tenants all across the city (Gofman owns numerous buildings throughout NYC) - refuses to hire a licensed plumber to do the work necessary to cure this dangerous condition and instead routinely sends one of his regular workers to mop up the raw sewage and paint over the stained ceiling.

When Gofman bought 179 East 93rd Street on January 17, 1996, every apartment in the building was regulated by the New York State Division of Homes & Community Renewal (DHCR). Some of the apartments were Rent Control and others were Rent Stabilized.  But, as Gofman's goal was and still is to deregulate 179 East 93rd Street apartments, each time a legacy tenant  (a tenant who was living at 179E93 when Gofman bought the building) moves out, Gofman either files a false rent registration at DHCR (e.g., sometimes doubling the rent, sometimes tripling the rent, etc.) or, in other cases, Gofman simply stops registering the Regulated apartment with the DHCR all together.  Acc...
