[Advice] I live in Brooklyn, and my apartment building has several vacant apartments whose tenants have either died or abandoned due to eviction notices. Our landlords are doing nothing about the mess left behind (trashcans full of garbage... refrigerators and freezers full of leftover food, cockroaches everywhere, etc.). We have contacted our landlord (which is a corporation) multiple times about correcting these issues but they have not responded in any way.
Tonight, my roommates and I went into the apartment next door to ours, which was abandoned about 1 year ago (the door was unlocked). We saw trash and cockroaches everywhere, and the refrigerator/freezer full of old food.
I am not sure how to get our landlord to take this matter seriously. I fear that if we send pictures of what we saw in the abandoned apartment, they will try to prosecute us for trespassing. Does anyone have any advice for how to pursue this matter legally, or knows of anyone in the NYC area who could help push this matter with our landlords? Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.
