In addition, a civil suit alleges that Croman "directs an illegal operation that wields harassment, coercion, and fraud to force rent-regulated tenants out of their apartments and convert their apartments into highly profitable market-rate units."
Tomorrow morning at 9, Croman tenants are holding a rally outside Manhattan Criminal Court at 100 Centre Street. After the rally, tenants are going to Judge Jill Konviser's chamber, 13th floor room 1322, to witness the proceedings.
After his last court appearance in June, Croman's defense attorney, Ben Brafman, said that his client was close to reaching a plea agreement.
“We are working diligently to try and resolve this matter on a global basis and hope to be able to do so by the next court appearance.”
Croman's real-estate empire includes 47 buildings with 617 units in the East Village. As previously noted, Croman owns more buildings in the East Village than any other landlord.

I hope justice is served and that he will face the brunt and consequences of his greedy, selfish actions.
Get the tar and feathers ready, and the rail to ride him out of town on!
Everyone remember to wear your Steve Croman T-shirt to court tomorrow. Let's make sure to let both the judge and the prosecutor know that a lenient plea bargain deal is totally unacceptable.
Well Steve Croman, how long did you think you could get away with all the horrible things you have done to so many people, not just your tenants. You have left a trail of pain and misery and a lifetime of heartache to so many innocent lives unfortunate enough to have crossed your path. You and your equally guilty and greedy wife Harriet have destroyed the lives of countless people, you destroyed the businesses and livelihoods of hard working citizens, you have sickened the health and well being of your tenants and you screwed everyone else, your contractors, brokers, back-stabbed your business partners, you robbed the very banks financing you, the list goes on and on. Jail is much too good for you, the Worst Landlord in New York City History.
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CROMAN EMPIRE !
It will be enjoyable to see Croman dragged to Court - Just like he callously dragged all his tenants to court for years.
How could one man cause so much damage and hurt so many people without facing some form of punishment? We all have to take ownership of our actions. Steve Croman shouldn't be a stranger to this.
I/Con next we hope.
