The worst landlord list

Attention Boston condo landlords, this is one publication you don’t want to be in, its infamous in the real estate world for publishing the annual “100 Worst Landlords” The purpose is to name and shame the worst landlords in the country.

The report doggedly tracks its “worst landlords,” offenders rarely face more than negligible penalties and bad press.

But Daniel Ohebshalom a NY and LA landlord pushed his luck. For starters exposing kids to poisonous paint. In the case of Attorney General Letitia James against A&E Real Estate, a mere $510,000. But he failed to make corrections.

NYC Civil Court issued an arrest warrant Friday for the Los Angeles-based owner, who made the Public Advocate’s Worst Landlords Watchlist for his management of two Washington Heights buildings at 705 and 709 West 170th Street.

Housing Preservation and Development issued a correction of nearly 700 violations, court records show.

“He’s the worst landlord on this planet,” said William, a longtime tenant of Ohebshalom’s. “They should take these buildings away from him.”

Ohebshalom now faces up to 60 days in Rikers Island, the order reads. The landlord can shorten his stay if he cures the violations while behind bars.
