Oakland Sues Landlord Over Broken Elevators | California News

Oakland is suing a landlord for leaving two elevators broken for 52 days, forcing elderly and disabled tenants—including one with a lung condition who had to climb four floors—into dangerous, life-disrupting situations. The tenant, previously trapped in a Mosser building in San Francisco, was offered a lower-floor unit at the same rent and new deposit, which she refused. Despite media pressure, repairs came too late, and promised aid like groceries and laundry never arrived. This isn’t Mosser’s first rodeo—they’ve faced multiple lawsuits, paid nearly $1 million in settlements, and are accused of neglecting water and fire damage while pushing tenants out through systemic disrepair. The city demands repairs, compensation, legal fees, and restitution for profits made during the violations. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
