Court upholds $375K fine against Queens landlords over hundreds of building, tenant harassment violations
A Queens court upheld a $375,000 fine against landlords Alex Kohn and Shorenstein for hundreds of building violations and tenant harassment, dismissing their claims of not being involved with the attorney who settled the case. The fine resulted from missed payments on an initial $37,500 settlement, leading to a tenfold penalty after the court rejected their arguments.
