Monsey Rabbi Fined For Failure To Provide Renters With Potable Water
Rabbi Mayer Weinstein, the owner of10 Nesher Court in Monsey, New York, was fined $1,000 for failing to provide tenants with potable water.
Rockland County, New York's Board of Health recently met and issued fines for businesses and property owners with violations.
The Journal News posted a list of these fines. One of them caught my eye:
Mayer Weinstein, owner, 10 Nesher Court, Monsey, was fined $1,000 for failing to provide tenants with potable water.
Weinstein shows up in CitiCliq as Rabbi Mayer Weinstein, a religious "organization" headquarted at 10 Nesher Court.

if he provided them drinking water it would be a big aveirah since there are so many unkosher bugs in it. he's doing a big mitzvah.

I had no idea that Monsey's tap water is not drinkable.

I wonder if he pays taxes on this 9 bedroom home which he leases to his tenants.

Come on, water is extra!It is expensive. It needs chemicals like H2O which require a hechsher.

What a bunch of whiners these tenants are. They had kosher water provided personally by a rabbi and they want it to be POTABLE too?
Ingrates.

Doesn't potable mean water that can fit in a pot?
If they were not going to cook with it and only drink out of a glass, what's the big deal?

Potable water is defined as drinkable. Therefore this landlord has denied his tenant a basic right under landlord/tenant legislation.

And today there was a major fire in Monsey in a commercial building up for sale. Hmmm

one of 2 things:
a- either his deenoh demalkhoosoh refers to the laws of the tzar
or
b- he is not pushing them in the well, he is merely removing the ladder

1. nesher court is a fairly nice hasiddishe street.
why is this guy being such an idiot?
must be one helluva happy guy.
2. the house that burned down in monsey was arson.

devorah,
shame they didn't care about the families upstairs. but they're goyim..so why care?
it was set because he knew the community would help him get away with it.
this was completely planned out.
too bad the community couldn't do the right thing and lend him money to fix it up.
or better yet, it was probably the community (rabbi horowitz or his satmar cronies who run the town) who told him burn it down...nothing will happen.

Ruthie - do a reverse address lookup. 10 Nesher Ct.'s tenants don't appear to be "goyim"
