The social justice law firm the Legal Aid Society sued the landlord of its Brooklyn offices Tuesday because a years-old mold infestation has rendered its Kings County headquarters uninhabitable, the nonprofit said.

The organization’s nearly 500 staffers have not been able to return to their downtown Brooklyn workplace at 111 Livingston Street for two years in a row due to the extensive spread of the fungus caused by faulty ventilation.
