Thousands of city tenants living in foreclosed apartment buildings - many with deteriorating conditions - saw a glimmer of hope Wednesday.
Lawyers for Legal Service NYC filed a motion in Bronx Supreme Court that would force banks foreclosing on a property to maintain the building's upkeep while the case is pending.
A foreclosure, especially a contested one, could drag on for years, leaving the building without a tangible owner to make repairs for some things as simple as a runny faucet or as serious as toxic mold.
"As complicated as this problem is, we're not going to take it lying down," said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan), who was involved in forming a city task force on financially distressed rental housing last year.
