<p>Some East Village residents are about to bring the social media pain on Jakobson Properties, the no-fee rental shop that notoriously cuts corners when it comes to building maintenance. <a href="http://evgrieve.com/2011/11/taking-to-twitter-to-complain-about.html">EV Grieve noticed</a> these signs around the neighborhood, encouraging tenants to tweet their complaints about piles of trash, leaky roofs, lack of hot water, power outages and so on to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/search/%40Jakobson_fix_it">@Jakobson_fix_it</a>, ideally with a photo.<!--more--></p>
<p>"Since I know that most tenants are unhappy and that these conditions probably apply to other buildings as well, I figured it'd be good to start tracking these things, hoping for some improvements," the tenant behind the Twitter account told EV Grieve.</p>
<p>So far, @Jakobson_fix_it is just getting off the ground. "Heat is nonexistent!" tweeted one resident.</p>
<p>And there's a <a href="http://jakobsonfixit.tumblr.com/post/12514887641/anon-had-to-call-and-pay-for-own-locksmith-to-fix-the">Tumblr</a>, too, with even more sob stories about the landlord. Mice! Rats! Throwing out the recycling! "Email us your story at jakobsonfixit@gmail to remain anonymous and we’ll post it on tumblr and twitter w/o names," the Tumblr says.</p>
<p>Jakobson Properties, which goes by <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/NOFEERENTALSNYC">@NOFEERENTALSNYC</a> on Twitter, has not acknowledged the campaign.</p>
