Board Jurisdiction and Rent Stabilized TenantsJun 18, 2015

Writing to the tenant is problematic because he has diminished mental capacity, possibly early dementia, and has an executor handling his affairs.
The issue is the tenant being unable to care for himself and being in an unsafe situation.

Board Juisdiction and Rent Stabilized Tenants - Ned in Toronto, Canada Jun 20, 2015

All the more reason for the board to write to the owner; it is a letter of concern for the tenant and their capacity to take care of, both from and a health and safety perspective, themselves (and the unit) and that the board has a responsibility for the health and safety of residents. I would cc: their management company.

The owner needs to be advised of the boards concern for their tenants welfare. It's in the owners ballpark to determine the best course of action (initially). I am certain that a letter of reasonable and compassionate concern will prompt the owner into action. Give the owner a chance to address the concerns before you take radical action as suggested by dsil. Any court would ask "did you make the owner aware of your concerns?".
