February 15, 2007 -- A Bronx mother has filed an $80 million lawsuit against her landlord, saying her apartment was so infested with rats she was forced to sleep with her infant son, causing him to die in her bed of suffocation.
Gladys Robles says she slept with 6-week-old son Cristian Nunez to prevent him from being attacked by rats in her third-floor apartment on Arthur Avenue, which is owned by Palazzolo Realty Corp., court papers show. The mother maintains in papers filed yesterday at Bronx Supreme Court that Palazzolo knew of "hazardous rodent infestation" in the apartment and didn't stop it, leading to the death of little Cristian on Jan. 28.
