Edit to add: She just posted that they've decided to close at the end of the year.
Recently, a ton of real estate was purchased by "New Yorkers" in my area. Mostly commercial buildings and apartments/condos.
My favorite restaurant was one of the victims. The new landlord has allowed them to go without working air conditioning for over a year now - resulting in a kitchen that can only get into the low 60's in the winter (if you're right by the woks), and surpassing 120 in the summer. They've had to close multiple times due to this. The restaurant owner actually paid thousands out of pocket to try and get it fixed, and the landlord got on her for engaging in unauthorized and unapproved work on the building.
The city and OSHA just shrug their shoulders. Due to the laws and the contracts, he's not violating any laws or codes that they can enforce.
I didn't even have to ask the owner, she told us he was a Jew.
