From the Daily News:Longtime tenants at Flatbush Gardens say their landlord wants them out - and has ignored their complaints about leaky roofs, faulty wiring and broken appliances.
Clipper Equity - which has owned the sprawling 59-building complex since 2005 - isn't making the repairs because it wants long-term residents to move out so newcomers will move in and pay higher rents, tenants say.
"You call, but they never come to fix anything," complained one woman who's lived in the huge rent-stabilized East Flatbush complex for 25 years. "But when someone moves out, they renovate everything."
Like many residents at the complex where 10,000 live, the woman declined to give her name, because she fears harassment from Clipper, which paid $140 million to acquire the development.
And in other rent regulation news, the residents of Stuyvesant Town are looking to buy their complex.

And this is the company that is advertising their apartments all over the place. Maybe the tenants, who are not getting services, should take out their own ads warning people away until the problem is resolved.
Who would want to go there knowing what would happen to them in a few years once they weren't "new tenants."
I see the commercial on NY1 all the time. The commercial says you'll get 1 month free rent and shows a guy doing renovations on a bathroom and proceeds to show the jewish scumlord smiling at the end. To the old residents it's still Vandeever projects and to the new people it's Flatbush Gardens.

Where does it say that the guy is Jewish? Projecting a little here with your Anti-Semitism?
You can thank Gov. Pataki for this and now thank Bloomberg for the continuing harassment.
Why aren't they taking the slumlord for HP actions in housing court and putting in for reduced rent w/ the DHCR?
The crap comes down from the top in housing court, thank Bloomberg for the run around they will get and the slum lord can keep neglecting his property.
HPD what are you doing besides nothing?
They should be calling 311 making complaints every single day to DOB, HPD, DEP & Dept of Health.
Any news on how things are going for the residents of the former Starrett City?
The Vanderveer was never a "project".It may appear that way due to the majority of skells who reside there.I t was once known that 6% of all crime in pbbs was committed by those woderful residents!
These used to be known as the infamous Vandeveer houses. Ask any Brooklyn cop from the 70's 80s and 90's how wonderful they were.
So him being jewish and being a scum lord makes some one anti semetic? Take you're liberal and unmeritable accusations to the ADL.
last poster, according to your sentiment, anyone asking for routine maintenance and repairs in an apartment building are criminals!
those cops must have charged slumlords extra to harass the tenants.

No. The association of the two words makes that person Anti-Semetic. If the person is a slumlord, his or her religion is irrelevant.
Take your (use the right word) Anti-Semitism to the KKK!
