illegal construction

"Everything they're doing is fraudulent."

He was allegedly trying to get the city to look the other way on illegal construction at his house.

"I strolled through the building only to find that the hallways were a disaster..."

"It's ridiculous. All of these people have nowhere to stay."

He was flying back from Haiti when the law caught up to him.

"Not even the owners will go back" where the elevator is, a friend of the victim said.

The state is also suing him for alleged tenant harassment.

"I became particularly frightened when the wall...went higher than my windows and blocked out all the light."

"I say, 'The walls are shaking, the pictures are coming off my walls!' They say, 'You can't tell me what to do.'"
