...by one of the biggest real estate companies in New York.

There were lots of things wrong (it was a renovated building) - doors missing and other things that I can't remember after all these years. Anyway, I kept asking them to fix the things, and they kept promising me (left me little notes "next week", "Monday", etc.) After six months I stopped paying rent. A couple of months later they gave me an eviction notice, which had to be resolved in court.

I took all their notes with me, and explained to the judge what had been going on. He told the landlord to fix everything, then turned to me and said "if it isn't all done in a week, let me know". They did the work in two days!!!

If you're in the right, you really can fight the big guys and win.

Glad it worked out for you.
