A pair of allegedly racist squatters who went years without paying their mortgage — then refused to leave when the home was auctioned off — claim the new owners cruelly “intimidated” them, tormented them by camping out on their lawn, and threatened to paint messages on the house, court records show.
The new owners “threatened to paint messages on the residence and intruded onto the premises with picnic chairs, paint and painting supplies,” the Pollacks contended. The messages were never painted, and it’s unclear what they were intended to be. The couple “are not squatters, they never were,” their current lawyer, David Witkon, insisted to The Post, noting that under the law, squatters enter a property they do not own, while the Pollacks were former owners who lost the property in foreclosure.
“We never set foot on that block until that period ended,” said Bobby Chawla. “I didn’t step on the property until after the date he was supposed to move, because I didn’t want anything to be a hiccup for him vacating. He stayed for almost a year after that.”Chawla’s sister Gege, who was pregnant during much of the legal dispute and hoping to move into the home with her family, denied they ever sat in lawn chairs in the yard.
