LOCH SHELDRAKE , NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today filed a lawsuit against River Valley Estates, LLC (River Valley), a mobile home park in Sullivan County, and its operators, George Levin and Gayla Sue Levin, for years of failing to maintain essential infrastructure in the park that left hundreds of residents without clean water and for charging illegal fees and rent hikes that cost residents hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The lawsuit alleges River Valley has violated numerous New York laws meant to protect the health and safety of tenants, causing residents to endure raw sewage overflowing into their homes, regular water outages, polluted water, and other unsafe conditions in their community.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges River Valley has charged illegal fees and rent increases and entered into leases that unlawfully fail to protect tenants’ rights. Attorney General James is seeking a court order forcing River Valley to make all the repairs necessary to improve conditions in its park, pay $2.3 million in restitution to tenants for the lack of clean water service and illegal charges, and pay up to $295,000 in penalties.
With this lawsuit, Attorney General James is seeking a court order forcing River Valley to make all of the necessary repairs and infrastructure improvements to make its property safe and habitable. In addition, Attorney General James is seeking $2.3 million in restitution for residents.
