The fact that the Mazurs--he's a neurosurgeon, she's a professor at GW, these are not poor people--have owned this building for about thirty years and during that time have allowed the building to become badly run down at the same time that they have collected rents from it from tenants numbering ten, while all the while living in a mansion in Mount Pleasant worth millions of dollars, should be shocking enough as it is.<br /><br />The Mazurs are not the sort of people we want to have as landlords--slumlords--in our city and I suggest that they go back to wherever it is that they came from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-87895035963018705642009-06-22T15:25:53.074-04:002009-06-22T15:25:53.074-04:00I read that this place is not an eminent danger to...I read that this place is not an eminent danger to the public afterall and that the owner doesn't want to tear it down. Of course, the public pressure seems to have made a difference.Carlynoreply@blogger.com
