Local news outlets have released several reports on South Brooklyn Legal Services’ federal lawsuit filed against the MTA this week in response to service and bus route cuts which SBLS says violate the Americans with Disabilities Acts.
South Brooklyn Legal Services Director of Litigation Ed Josephson was interviewed for a recent City Limits article about a class-action lawsuit against the Pinnacle Group, a massive landlord that owns dozens of buildings across in New York. They’ve been accused of using various tactics, including increasing rents on rent-controlled apartments, to edge tenants out of apartments and then increase prices.
A recent article by City Limits magazine interviewed Johnson Tyler, director of the South Brooklyn Legal Services Consumer Unit, for a perspective on the difficulties of pursuing criminal charges for debt collectors and process servers engaged in “sewer service.”
