The City has taken legal action against the owner of the Nob Hill Apartments, citing numerous maintenance complaints over the past year. According to the lawsuit, city inspectors have repeatedly visited the property to address various code violations. The out-of-state owner is accused of making inadequate efforts to resolve these issues at the four-building complex on East Seneca Turnpike.
“Nob Hill’s owner has shown disregard for the City and, worse yet, for its own residents. Despite the Division of Code Enforcement’s repeated efforts to hold this company and its property manager accountable, the problems have continued to go unaddressed. Most recently, residents in one building have been living without hot water,” stated Mayor Walsh. “This kind of careless property management and treatment of city residents will not be tolerated.”
The lawsuit highlights problems with the elevators, describing their functionality as “inconsistent at best and nonexistent at worst.” It also points to a “general state of disrepair,” listing over two dozen violations related to elevator upkeep, general maintenance, and health and safety concerns.
The City is requesting that the court order Nob Hill to rectify the violations within 30 days of the ruling. Additionally, it seeks a penalty of $100 per day for each day the violations have remained unaddressed. Supreme Court Judge Robert E. Antonacci has scheduled the court hearing for June 4.
