One official said there are “scenes in there like a scene out of a horror movie” after touring the Hell’s Kitchen building, where tenants have had to deal with leaks, flooding, mold, rodents, squatters and more

John Reeds, who has called the twin buildings home for the last three decades, said he and his neighbors have gone days without heat or hot water — most recently over the holidays.Before living at 410, he called this now-boarded up and vacant building next door home. It has been locked up and due for demolition after a fire destroyed apartments there several years ago.

He said his landlord moved him into the building next door. He gave a tour of his latest digs, and a key wasn’t even needed to get in. Reeds pointed to open and vacant apartments tenants say are used by squatters.Elected leaders say the buildings have operated under several management companies. City records show numerous violations, some dating back 17 years to 2005.
