DEODAT LOWTAN ranks #46 on the NYC Public Advocate's 2025 Worst Landlord Watchlist (published January 21, 2026). The watchlist is the Public Advocate's annual designation of NYC residential property owners with sustained patterns of HPD housing-maintenance violations across their portfolios. Inclusion is determined by the Public Advocate's office using HPD violation counts, building-condition data, and tenant complaints; MetroDeeds does not curate or score the watchlist.
