craped from the bottom of the barrel, tales of living hell
Tuesday, June 27th 2006

The 10 Worst Landlords is a Voice institution. Started by longtime senior editor Jack Newfield in the ’60s, it became a regular feature gracing our pages through the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. This edition is dedicated to Newfield, who died in 2004. It was written by students from his alma mater, Hunter College. Senior editor Wayne Barrett, who this winter was the first Jack Newfield Visiting Professor of Journalism at Hunter, supervised the project.
