Council Member Farah Louis and the Flatbush Gardens Tenants
Association organized a protest early this morning against Flatbush Gardens
Management, demanding immediate changes to management that creates
uninhabitable living conditions, expedite urgent repairs to units and the
implementation of safety measures for the entire Flatbush Gardens’ complex and
garages.

The rally-to-protest was held in front of the Flatbush Gardens Management Office,
located at 3301 Foster Avenue, where residents gathered to express their disdain and
frustration regarding the deplorable living conditions and poor management
operations in a complex of over 50 buildings.

“It is unacceptable for Flatbush Gardens Management to force residents to live in
uninhabitable conditions. Residents are suffering from hazardous environmental
conditions, rat infestations, mold, falling ceilings, urine in elevators, and broken
doors”, said Council Member Farah Louis. “Clipper Equity is a culprit amongst this
city’s worst landlords, and they need to do right by their tenants. We demand the
restoration of management office hours to eight hours a day, five days a week;
expedite urgent repairs to units, and provide efficient safety measures for Flatbush
Gardens residents.”
