An Essex County judge has appointed a receiver to take over management of 75 Prospect Street in East Orange, New Jersey. Members of the 75 Prospect Street Tenant Association demanded a receiver in two separate lawsuits due to the Weiss Property Group’s well-documented history of neglect, including pervasive leaks, mold, and dysfunctional elevators. Effective December 7, 2023, the receiver, who was proposed by Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), is charged to take immediate control of the building and to hire contractors to make repairs. The court’s order bars the building’s owner and members, including Mordechai Weiss, from entering the building and collecting rents.
