Squatters pushing New York City homeowners to financial limits – CBS New York (cbsnews.com)
Squatters taking advantage of laws that allow them to live rent free while the lengthy court process plays out are a growing problem in New York City.
Squatters have victimized many New Yorkers who say something has to be done.
“My tenants only pay me one month’s rent, and they know the game. They know after 30 days you cannot evict them,” said Hong Chen, who spent thousands of dollars trying to get squatters out of a home in Maspeth.
“They turned off the hot water and then reported that they had no hot water. It’s a $250 fine per day, up to $15,000 punishable by five years in jail,” said homeowner Susan Mascara, who used up her savings paying for seven years of upkeep on the Bayside home she inherited from her mother. “I’m in debt. My credit cards are pretty much maxed out.” ~ CBS News
