A Manhattan man insists he is staying put after his building was sold, refusing to move out and thereby stalling a major $70 million redevelopment plan
Since then, Ozsu has been battling stay in the apartment, saying the COVID-19 pandemic is a unique circumstance.
A lawyer for the building’s owner says he owes rent since October — with the owner saying that without a valid lease and being many months behind on rent, Ozsu needs to go. The owner also filed a $25 million lawsuit against him, claiming the tenant is"maliciously trying to thwart and impede" the development, as they plan to redevelop and convert the property into condos.
"He’ll wait months, many months, and then the money will come in. And he’ll have a safe tenancy for probably about a year. Now he has a retaliatory victim claim which will probably give him two years," said Ozsu's attorney, Adam Leitman Bailey.
