Jan 13the top complaint of tenants of 2910 Wallace Avenue, where the fire broke out, was a lack of heat and hot water. The building is owned by Ved Parkash, who is “not only the worst landlord in New York City, but in the whole world,” according to one of his Bronx tenants. Indeed, in 2015 Parkash was labeled one of the worst landlords in New York City after racking up over 2,000 open housing violations. As reported by The Real Deal, in 2016 Parkash was sued by some of his tenants in a building he owned in the Bronx. The following year, one tenant in that Bronx building died of a rodent-borne illness. Two of Parkash’s buildings in the Bronx have also been heavily damaged by fire before.
It’s been brick up here for weeks and was hella windy. Folks say the source of the fire was a faulty space heater as residents often used those and ovens to warm up their apartments due to the heat barely turned on.
Niggas gotta die behind this type of s*** dawg.
