2016 Worst Landlords List Includes Plenty of Offenders With Buildings in and Around Bushwick

Today, the office of Public Advocate Letitia James released a list of the 100 worst landlords in the city. Landlords with the most Department of Buildings (DOB) and Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations ended up at the top of the list.

The website is very detailed; it includes a number of lists and map views, to help you avoid moving into one of these buildings.

Sixteen of the city’s the 100 worst landlords have buildings in Bushwick, Ridgewood, and East Williamsburg. They have a whopping total of 8,804 violations between them (though some of those for buildings outside of those three neighborhoods).

Here is a complete list of landlords to watch out for in our neck of the woods:
