Residents of the Whitehouse hotel were slated to go to housing court yet again today, according to a Curbed tipster. Longtime tenants are taking buyouts, and the remaining residents are heading to court, and, in what seems to be a regular occurrence, meeting with representatives from the Cooper Square Committee and Manhattan Legal Services.

Five Washington Heights residents have filed suit against their landlord for allegedly violating the Tenant Protection Act by intimidating, harassing and threatening them in order to force them out of their rent regulated apartments, according to the Indypendent. The target of the suit, Vantage Properties, has also been accused of not addressing health and safety concerns, such as damaged floors and leaky ceilings, in the building at 3495 Broadway. “The tenants live with mold, rodents and roaches because of Vantage and 3489 Broadway LLC’s gross negligence and disregard,” Lyda Tyburec, a Manhattan Legal Services staff attorney affiliated with the case, said. There are a reported 100 different housing code violations on the 80-unit building, according to the city housing agency.
