Jared Kushners building is a filthy deathtrap: lawsuit

[RandySF]

A Greenwich Village building owned by Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is a sewage-spewing powder keg waiting to explode, according to a new lawsuit by a former commercial tenant.

Eran Wasjwol ran a franchise location of the upscale grilled cheese chain Meltkraft at 101 MacDougal St. from 2014 until this past summer, when he vacated the space after a series of sewage leaks and out of concerns over an illegal electrical connection, according to his lawsuit.

Kushner bought the five-story building in 2015 and was largely an absent landlord, Wasjwol says in court papers.

Wasjwol’s company, Valley Shepherd 442 LLC, is suing KC3 – 101 MacDougal Street, LLC, which owns the property.

The suit says that entity is controlled by Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner.

3. Do SWAT teams fix sewage leaks?

Maybe Kushner can use some of his great "business ideas" to find a licensed electrician.

6. A little yellow journalism-ish?

Couldn't they at least come up with a slightly more apt cliche than "powder keg waiting to explode?"

I did a quick try to find more responsible coverage, but so far only found the Village Voice reporting on another property that Kushner tried to push long-term tenants out of, including by making the building miserable to occupy while he was having it renovated, so he could rent for much more.
