Imam at center of controversy named in lawsuit

The imam who has proposed the Islamic center to be built two blocks from ground zero, is now also fighting a law suit against two buildings he owns because of maintenance issues. 

From 1996 to 2010, the city responded to no less than 30 complaints from tenants predicated upon various health and safety concerns, including lack of heat, mold inside apartments, garbage issues, bed bugs, foul odors, dirty hallways and the lack of utilities/heat," the filing says.

If Feisal Abdul Rauf's company and Sage Development cannot even maintain proper legal codes to insure the safety of the residence, how do they expect to maintain an Islamic Center.
