I have had horrible experiences with this Broome County renter. They took 6 months to fix a corroded wall that was hidden behind the radiator and would not fix it until I brought Broome county legislatures in my email exchanges with them. They even lied to me and the legislatures about fixing the wall and changed their tune when I showed them a picture of the gross brown part of the wall. I was not informed before hand that there was not heating source in the bathroom and that the floors above me were creaky. Their constant excuse was that they have a so many properties to explain this neglect.
If the slumlord can't take care of his property, he shouldn't own it , simply put. It is but actually it's not your problem, I would start taking bids on the repairs and go with the best one, take it out of the rent for the next 1.5
