agreed. no one is saying that they deserved to live that way because "they're probably illegal." they simply stated that illegal status is a leading reason someone would subject themselves to living in such a miserable, exploited state. and, hello? adding color instead of sticking to the facts is the engine that drives this board.

It provides context. If they had a better place to live, they'd probably live there.

Quite a regular

what does their legal status have anything to do with this thread?
There are people who don't have the means to live in a proper apartment and there are people who thrive on less fortunate, helpless, or uninformed. That's it. Let's stick with the facts instead of adding color that no one on this thread knows first hand.

You can report unsafe living conditions anonymously to the health department or through the Mayor's Action Bureau.

In my neighborhood, there are 24 people living in a two family home. Where can I report THEM?!!!
I am not vindictive. I only say this because they consistently throw their trash all over the sidewalk like slobs and don't seem to have a general disregard for the neighborhood.

Considering how bad of a deal this is, I bet they are not legal citizens. Anyways, where do you think these people are living now? I imagine somewhere similar, or worse. How is forcing them out of their home good for them? Maybe someone could've helped them find a better living situation?

slumlords prey on vulnerable people who can't find housing through legitimate means, whether due to bad luck or bad choices. I highly doubt these are the model tenants you imagine renting your 2-bedroom apartment to.

So who are these people who voluntarily agree to live in such conditions?
Good lord.... if the couple in the garage could find another couple, for $1,300 they could rent a 2 bed from me. Complete with central A/C. still kind of crowded.... but a lot better than a garage.

A Jersey City woman who had 18 tenants living in her two-family Heights home has been cited for up to $10,000 in fines and the tenants were ordered out by today, officials said.
"We see landlords, for the sake of making money, are putting people's lives in jeopardy by creating unsafe condition such the ones we witnessed here," Fire Department Director Armando Roman said of the property of Reena Jee at 15 Stagg St. Police and representatives of several city agencies went to the home Monday after getting a tip from a former resident who said as many as 30 people had lived there at once, Roman said. Inspectors found two families were living in the garage, each was paying $650 per month, Roman said. Each of the two first-floor bedrooms had two beds in them and residents were paying $450 per bed, Roman said. There were two mattresses in the first-floor living room being rented for $350, Roman said. On the second floor, Jee lived in a rear apartment and the two other bedrooms contained two beds, each being rented for $650, Roman said. Six people were living in the second-floor living room and each were paying $350, Roman said. Those living the garage were immediately ordered out as it was an "imminent hazard," Roman said. The tenants in the two-family home were given until today to vacate and all were gone when housing officials checked this afternoon, Roman said. Jee must appear in Jersey City Municipal Court to face the citations she received from the fire department and other agencies, Roman said. She could not be reached for comment.18 Tenants in two family home.
