According to the plaintiffs, the owners systematically violated the Rent Stabilization Code by creating illusory tenancies in order to increase the rent in the apartments significantly in excess of the lawful stabilized rent. The plaintiffs also alleged that there is a relationship between Barry Hersko, the chief executive officer of the owners, and Isaac Hersko, the president of the two organizations—We All and We Care—and also that the owners and the We Care companies "are intricately connected organizationally, and financially." There is no dispute that Barry Hersko and Isaac Hersko are brothers. The plaintiffs further alleged that the owners and their lessees—We All and We Care—all listed the same address for each respective business and that Isaac Hersko acted as the principal of We All and We Care, even though he held a mortgage on one of the owners' buildings at the same time. The plaintiffs also alleged that We Always possessed a liability insurance policy which provided coverage for incidents occurring at the owners' buildings.
