Protestors Rally Against 'Deplorable Conditions' In Tinton Ave. Building

NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) -- Protestors claim there are over 100 open violations at a building in the Bronx.

They demonstrated on Wednesday night, and expressed outrage over what they called wasted funds, and conditions that are making residents sick.

"We worried about ourselves, but also the kids that live here," a man told 1010 WINS' Hollie Haerr.

He said there are rats, holes in the walls, and lax security at the Tinton Avenue building where he lives with his grandparents.

"We're humans. We'd like to live like humans," he said.

The building also houses the homeless.

Protestors tried to get some of the homeless residents to come to the rally. They called the conditions deplorable and urged their management company to come stay the night.
