Raymond Tirado, the last tenant in an East Harlem apartment building, fights to remain in his childhood home, while the landlord attempts to demolish and replace it with a luxury development.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s push to upzone working class communities of color was pitched as an “affordable” housing strategy, but it has sent land values and rents skyrocketing in targeted communities like East Harlem, further incentivizing landlords to displace long-time tenants.
That’s what the rich do!
STAY WHERE YOU ARE MAKE IT AN ISSUE TO LEAVE GET MEDICAL PROOF, IT WILL BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH, TO RELOCATE ,, STAY STRONG” YOU ARE A FIGHTER ,, IF YOU GOT TO GO, MAKE A DEAL YOU WILL BE PART OWNER, OF WHAT EVER HIGH RISE, OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ,THEY ARE REPLACING YOUR CHILDHOOD HOME WITH ‘,NO OTHER DEALS ACCEPTED .AS IT WAS DONE IN THE YOUNGER DAYS.PA’ LANTE PROFE’

Fight for usour childhood and our memories
This is a sad situation, fight the good fight, don’t let them push you out. If you can and you eventually have to move make them pay for you relocation, take it to court if need be. Praying for you Raymond!!
Check with your Historical Society and see if you can get your building deemed a Historical property. Then they can’t force you out or demolish your building.
