On Saturday, May 3rd at 5:00 PM, tenants from six Bronx buildings owned by notorious landlord Moshe Piller will hold a press conference to demand accountability, safe housing, and an end to systematic slumlord neglect. (1/5)

Rex Santus, attorney representing the tenants, said the tenants "are not asking for much- just a safe place to live. We shouldn’t have to resort to the courts to get that, but that’s the reality in New York City, and that’s why we’re here today," he said.
