Residents of a 1,700-unit Battery Park City rental complex are suing their landlord, The LeFrak Organization, for allegedly failing to provide adequate heat in winter (See Complaint).
The suit, Koetz v. Marina Tower Associates, 651023/14, was filed April 1 and has been assigned to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Eileen Rakower (See Profile). In addition to LeFrak, it targets Marina Tower Associates, the lessee of the land the complex occupies; Gateway Plaza Management Corp., its management company; and Battery Park City Authority, the public benefit corporation that owns the land.
