Does the scummiest landlord win a prize this week or something? First we have Josh Guttman, who it looks like might've burned down the Greenpoint Terminal in the biggest fire this city's seen in over a decade. Well, he might've done it, unless it was actually Baruch Singer, another slumlord fond of criminal tactics. And then today and yesterday the Daily News' Juan Gonzalez has two features about The Pinnacle Group. These guys go around buying buildings and then sue to evict their rent-stabilized tenants. Being that most of these buildings are in marginal areas (on the brink of becoming hot), most of the tenants are poor and can't afford a legal battle.
In the interest of preventing even more scumbags from entering this most hideous competition, I am declaring a three-way tie between Guttman, Singer and Pinnacle. Your prize is a chance to kiss my big white ass. Line up, fellas—I'm all moisturized and ready for your love!
