WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — A Washington Heights mother is frustrated in a battle against black mold in her apartment as her landlord and the city have failed to address the problem, City Limits reported on Monday.
Nicholle Nichols lives in a Washington Heights apartment owned by the notorious landlord Moshe Piller, where she has tried and failed for months to get the mold cleaned out of her children's bedroom, City Limits reported.
In the meantime, she has sent her kids to live with their father in Queens and keeps the door closed to the room and a towel under the gap, City Limits reported.
