    Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City housing officials say Wednesday that they’ve sent compliance notices to the landlords, whose buildings house more than 2,400 families.

    The landlords received what are known as 421-A tax breaks, which made their buildings subject to regulations covering rental increases. But Schneiderman and the other officials say they failed to comply with that part of the law.

    Schneiderman’s office says the notices are part of a new crackdown intended to ensure landlords and real estate developers follow the law.

    Cuomo says the state will “not tolerate” landlords who break the law.

    i wish they would name names. I was involved in such a horrible situation with one of the “100 worst landlords in NY”. They really should be called out on their terrible practices against honest people who are at their mercy. They hide behind their property managers who don’t answer phones or their secretaries who are their front men or women. Shame on them.
