Binghamton Wins $634,000 Judgment Against City “Slumlord”

The owner of a Binghamton apartment house where a drug dealer was killed has been ordered to pay several hundred thousand dollars for failing to fix code violations.

The case involves a now-abandoned two-story structure at 11 Stone Street on the city's South Side.

According to Mayor Jared Kraham, a state supreme court judge has signed a judgment of $634,550 after he determined 19 of 20 code violations cited by the city had not been abated.

The code violations included no heat or hot water, a collapsing ceiling and leaking pipes as well as broken and boarded up windows.

A reinspection of the house revealed conditions - including the ceiling problem - had worsened.

The mayor's office said the property is owned by Jerry Einhorn and Endicott Properties LLC of Monsey in Rockland County. Kraham said the case represents a victory against an "out-of-town slumlord."

A 44-year-old man who was described as a heroin dealer was killed in the Stone Street house in 2013.

A Binghamton man convicted of murder and robbery in the case remains in state prison service a sentence of 25 years to life.
