Despite what you may hear from staff on the second floor, tenants in our building have rights - and plenty of them - including the right to privacy and quiet enjoyment of their "apartments". For instance, recent efforts by social workers on the second floor to enforce monthly home visits are in direct violation of these rights, according to representativea of Section 8 and other tenant advocacy groups. Moderating a blog that supports and promotes spreading information about tenants' rights also gets tenant advocates in the building banned from using the computer lab (the grounds are that using the computers there to post or read material on the blog is a misuse of H.S.I. or Kenmore Associates' computers). If you have questions or information you'd like to share about resources that will promote the common good of tenants in our building, check here - we'll be adding lots of information soon - or feel free to call Tenant Assistance at 917-512-2733.
