From NY1:NY1 last brought you Queens resident Cynthia Carter's story when she had feces spewing out of her bathtub and toilet onto her apartment floor. This time around it was coming out of her bathroom and kitchen sink.
Eight times her bathtub and toilet overflowed, forcing Carter to live out of plastic bags. She ended up going to court with the building's management.
"The court told them that they had to fix it and they told the court that they had a handle on it that they had a plumber fixing the pipes," said Carter.
And just when Carter thought everything was okay, feces began coming up out of her sinks. She turned to "NY1 For You" for help.
The first time the Department of Health inspected the apartment, a mild to moderate sewage odor was detected and now DOH will be sending another inspector out to follow-up with the tenant and the property managers to make sure the problems are addressed.
NY1 also reached out to the building owner LeFrak City, who released the following statement: "We have worked on the situation and reassure that this will never happen again."

Typical Lefrak (slum landlord) - bet they blamed it all on the tenant (they always do).
We fought for twenty years to get ramps after The Disability Act was passed. After a tenant sued we got one ramp then second in the other building after NY1 embarassed them.
