The city of New York on Tuesday sued a pair of Brooklyn landlords accused of harassing and evicting tenants amid the coronavirus pandemic in violation of a series of laws, according to court documents.

New York Attorney General Letitia James also has an open investigation into the defendants, Gennaro Brooks-Church and Loretta Gendville, whose conduct over the summer sparked protests and, eventually, a profile in New York Magazine headlined “The Eco–Yogi Slumlords of Brooklyn.”
