The Cohens have a $2.4 million mortgage from New York Community Bank, the city's largest multi-family lender (where the other $2.6 million of the purchase price came from is not reported in the city's land records). According to a recent analysis by Housing Here And Now, a nonprofit that specializes in banking issues, NYCB often lends to landlords who have been cited for "records of negligence and tenant harassment," and the bank's "multi-family lending is aggravating bad housing conditions rather than strengthening community development." In response to the critical report, NYCB promised to improve conditions at some of the buildings where it holds mortgages and vowed to take code violations into account when deciding which properties to finance. Regarding Hollis Court, Ilene Angarola, the bank's first senior vice president, told City Limits, "We take the concerns of tenants very seriously. We will be looking into this matter and speaking directly with the landlord."
