With the 18 buildings Valentina Gojcaj owns or manages in The Bronx saddled with $787,000 in arrears from tenants who haven’t paid rent during the pandemic, she made a list of 53 residents owing more than $5,000.
She then submitted the landlord portion of the paperwork necessary for those people to have their rent paid by the state’s federally-funded $2.4 billion relief program.
But only four tenants, Gojcaj said, have so far done their part to apply for the program.
“We called them,” she said of the 53 tenants, adding that some told her: “Leave me alone and don’t bother me.”
