Owner of collapsed Brooklyn building is a notorious slumlord, tax deadbeat who owes $450K debt
The owner of the Brooklyn building that collapsed onto an adjacent construction site leaving eight people dead is not only a notorious slumlord — he’s also a deadbeat who owes more than $450,000 in fines, unpaid taxes and water bills, The Post has learned. Olufemi Falade — who has the dubious distinction of landing on the NYC public advocate’s annual “Worst Landlords Watchlist” six times — racked up nearly all of his debt at the three-story building at 1321 Flatbush Ave . that crumbled Wednesday. A review of city records found that he owes $170,000 in fines issued by the Department of Buildings in 2019 for improperly displayed signs. He also owes the city $114,945 in unpaid water bills accumulated over several years and $113,526 in property taxes dating to 2021. Firefighters search the rubble of a collapsed building on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn on Wednesday. James Keivom for NY Post Separately, Falade owes the Internal Revenue Service another $49,269 for unpaid personal federal income taxes, according to a 2010 lien. He also owes New York state another $4,316 in personal income taxes. The city is still trying to determine who is at fault for the building collapse. NY politicians

Leidy Álvarez called for help after being trapped in rubble with her sons, Pablo and Joseph. Miguel Peguero/GoFundMe “We had managed to get [the apartment], and I said that we would buy the furniture either this week or next. Anderson had bought a rug so that Joseph could play comfortably. We were very happy.” Álvarez, who is from Colombia, said Anderson wasn’t home during the collapse that killed eight people — including two kids — and injured 18 others. Shocking footage from Álvarez’s living room captured the moment she, Pablo and Joseph were slammed with falling

"[Mauricia] was understandably shocked and felt terrible for the kitties," Susan Schroeder of the animal‑rescue organization Bronx Tails Cat Rescue told The Dodo in a recent interview. ...
