Episode Details

Newark residents are in crisis as a building suffers repeated sewage floods, turning basements into hazardous sludge pits — and it’s not the first time. A broken pipe in the laundry room is blamed, but city officials say the owner or maintenance company must fix it. Beyond sewage, complaints include broken intercoms and unsecured entrances. With 30 violations issued in nine months for heat, hot water, and garbage issues, the city is now recommending the landlord be added to Newark’s “Bad Landlord” list — a move backed by Mayor Baraka. Four lawsuits are already underway, and if problems persist, court action looms. This case underscores how critical landlord accountability is — and if you’re facing similar issues in Newark, report them to Code Enforcement.
