Slumlord of the decade

Mechanicville NY in 2008
posted June 11 by Anonymous

Dan Rubino, and his horrible wife are worse than a slumlord. His building is so far below code it isn't funny,(I know this because my friend is a building inspector) its infested with roaches, and when called about issues, he conveniently forgets to pick up his phone. My ceiling in my office actually collapsed onto my desk, ruining months worth of documents, a printer, and some other electronic equipment. I called him to complain, and not one, not two, but THREE weeks later he showed up BY HIMSELF to fix the leak. On top of it, two of the windows were broken when I moved into the apt. He swore to me up and down that both windows would be replaced. The whole time I lived there, he made up bull crap excuses as to why they weren't fixed yet. Oh, and he'd "conveniently forget" that I paid rent at times, and would try to charge me double for some months. THANK GOD I keep reciepts... Don't get scammed by this asshole.

You better be thankful that you posted this under anonymous. I lived in that building for 14 years. Dan and his HORRIBLE wife are 2 of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They owned the restaurant downstairs forever and always took care of everything for everyone in the house. And if your going to rag on someone who rented to you even though your probably a scum bag, you should probably tell everyone that you brought the roaches in with you. Sites like these are here to be informative about truly bad landlords. Not slumtenants.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO THIS IS THAT IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A APARTMENT BUILDING DON'T BUY ONE.... DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN RENT OUT APT'S AND COLLECT MONEY WITHOUT FIXING ANYTHING. AND PEOPLE MOVING INTO PLACES GET SCAMMED ALL THE TIME YOU MOVE IN THEY SWEAR UP AND DOWN THERE GONNA FIX THINGS FOR YOU BUT DON'T THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT THERE MONEY ISSUE'S... WERE NOT THE ONE'S BUYING APT BUILDING'S AND THEN NEVER TAKING CARE OF THEM!!! NOONE'S GONNA LISTEN TO A FRIEND OF A SLUMLORD!! THE LAW IS THE LAW!! IT DOESNT MATTER HOW NICE YOU ARE! PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE YOU THINK THERE GONNA SAY OWWW THAT PERSON'S SOO NICE JUST BECAUSE THEY DID SOMETHING ILLEGAL THEY SHOULDN'T GO TO JAIL CAUSE THERE SUCH A NICE PERSON THEY BROUGHT ME FOOD AND TOOK CARE OF ME OWW BUT THEY KILLED SOMEONE!!! GET THE HINT!!! WHEN 24 YEAR OLD KNOW BETTER THEN ADULTS ITS STARTS GETTING A LITTLE SCARY!!
