Absentee Slumlords We have a serious issue going on in this city regarding absentee slumlords within the Ellicott district and throughout the city of Buffalo, NY, coming to light  in the death of two innocent children, and other unfortunate incidents. This particular Slumlord rented out his house on Shirley Street after another tenant moved out because of a dispute they had between each other, involving the neglected dangerous electrical wires throughout the house. Instead of addressing the issue, this landlord rented the house out to a single mom with three children, and tragically,  resulting into a serious electrical house fire that claimed the lives of two of her three children. Common Council President Darius G. Pridgen wants residents to be able to contact absentee landlords and be able to enforce the owner to repair the issues with their house or apartment flats. He  also started a campaign called “Operation Slumlord” by placing signs in front of the neglected property with the full identification of this particular slumlord/landlord information.  Is that enough to enforce these neglectful slumlords to do what they have to do? I don’t think so! Yet when a woman and her child got ran over at the Scajaquada Expressway, the Buffalo News, Channel 2, 4, and 7 did a full coverage for over a week, plus forced the city to changed the speed limit on the Scajaquada Expressway to 30 mph. What is wrong with this picture? You figure. Absentee landlords should be held liable for wrongful deaths. Because of their negligence, they should face severe penalties, lawsuits and even jail time. Zero tolerance, no exceptions, this situation needs to be addressed and dealt with immediately. More to come!
