Hempstead Town Senior Councilman Anthony J. Santino and Supervisor Kate Murray instructed the Town’s building department to board-up Tan apartment building in Baldwin that was “unfit for human occupancy.”

“Families were living in a 12-unit apartment building that was a danger to their well-being,” said Murray. “The landlord repeatedly failed to address safety concerns, and we will not tolerate landlords who put the safety of residents at risk.”

Hempstead Town has ensured that the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management and the Department of Social Services have placed the families formerly residing in the building at 21 Edna Court into more appropriate housing.
