SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. – A landlord was fined nearly $10,000 for removing the toilet and other fixtures from a basement apartment to get his tenant to move out.
The Rockland Board of Health issued the fine to Fausto Pinos on Wednesday. He had been charged with 24 housing code violations for conditions in the building in Spring Valley, a town north of New York City.
“The people living there were subjected to appalling conditions that were not fit for human habitation,” said Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheim, the health board’s president. “It was just disgusting.”
