Brooklyn, NY – Samantha Kucher, Esq., founding attorney at Kucher Law Group (https://www.rrklawgroup.com/how-to-sue-my-landlord-for-unsafe-living-conditions/), announces a focused initiative by the firm’s Brooklyn premises liability lawyers to assist tenants seeking legal remedies for unsafe living conditions under New York law. The effort highlights the warranty of habitability, the Housing Stability & Tenant Protection Act of 2019, and pathways for tenants to pursue repairs, compensation, and court-ordered compliance where property owners fail to maintain safe and sanitary homes.
Kucher Law Group’s Brooklyn premises liability lawyers are prioritizing cases involving hazardous conditions such as structural dangers, mold, lead paint, pest infestations, lack of essential services, fire code violations, and negligent security. The initiative underscores the firm’s commitment to documenting violations, pursuing prompt corrective action, and litigating claims where necessary. The approach integrates detailed inspections, timestamped photographic and video evidence, written logs of defects, and certified notices to landlords to establish a clear record of noncompliance.
The program also centers on New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) enforcement categories to drive timely repairs. Class A non-hazardous violations carry correction windows up to 90 days with daily penalties for delays. Class B hazardous violations require remediation within 30 days and expose owners to escalating fines. Class C immediately hazardous violations, including lack of heat or hot water during the heating season, demand correction within 24 hours and may result in significant per-day penalties. By mapping conditions to HPD classifications and deadlines, Brooklyn premises liability lawyers at Kucher Law Group build cases that link factual proof to statutory obligations and measurable timelines.
When voluntary compliance fails, the firm guides tenants through HP actions in Housing Court, from filing at the Clerk’s Office and serving process to evidentiary hearings and court orders mandating repairs by specific dates. The initiative further addresses statutory protections against landlord retaliation for up to one year following protected activity, including complaints to HPD, HP filings, or participation in tenant organizing. Documented patterns such as sudden rent hikes, improper nonrenewals, or reductions in essential services are methodically recorded and challenged in the appropriate forum.
