SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 5 – Roberto Santos Guzman worked as a live-in building superintendent at 600 Trinity Avenue in The Bronx until it was bought by Denali Management Inc. and he was fired. He sued, under the Fair Labor Standards Act, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated.  

  On April 5, 2023 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

  Defense counsel disputed whether two individuals named, Jonathan Wiener and David Tennenbaum, should remain in the case.

  Plaintiff's counsel said Tennenbaum is listed on the NYC real estate paper work for many of the conglomerates buildings, but can only be served in the lobby of a building on West 27th Street.

An agreement to consent to service was reached - but a motion to dismiss is coming, after an amended complaint.  

The case is Santos Guzman v. Denali Management Inc. et al. 22-cv-10996 (Koeltl)
