A Fort Lauderdale senior living home that skirted state and local regulations by removing all of its residents to convert to luxury apartments last month is connected to a family of notorious New York landlords.
Jay Podolsky, a convicted felon, and his son, Lee, were instrumental in operating Oasis Living Quarters beginning in 2022 and transforming much of it into what is now Waterview Rental luxury apartments, according to former employees, residents and public records. Starting last year, elderly residents were forced to move multiple times without notice under the guise of “renovations” while their quality of life deteriorated to the point that many decided to leave of their own volition. Then, in March, all who remained were informed they had to leave with no written notice, according to residents, family members and a state inspection report.
