A tenant is claiming that the landlord burned a family of six out of their second-floor residence in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning.

At 5:17 a.m. on Sept. 26, FDNY personnel responded to a fire at 212 Forbell St. in East New York. A resident who lived in the building claimed that the landlord, Rafiq Islam, threw black tar on the front door and allegedly said he was going to burn them out of their apartment after the government stopped helping with payment in a landlord-tenant dispute dating back to January of this month.
