If you had flaming homosexual fraudster verses North Korean religious cult on your bingo card you are a winner


"I thought you were doing something for Valentine’s Day to spice up the relationship until I saw the female officers"



quote:

Barreto says he had just moved to New York from Los Angeles when his boyfriend told him about a loophole that allows occupants of single rooms in buildings constructed before 1969 to demand a six-month lease. Barreto claimed that because he'd paid for a night in the hotel, he counted as a tenant.

He asked for a lease and the hotel promptly kicked him out.

“So I went to court the next day. The judge denied. I appealed to the (state) Supreme Court and I won the appeal," Barreto said, adding that at a crucial point in the case, lawyers for the building's owners didn't show up, allowing him to win by default.

The judge ordered the hotel to give Baretto a key. He said he lived there until July 2023 without paying any rent because the building's owners never wanted to negotiate a lease with him, but they couldn't kick him out.



quote:

he didn't stop there: In 2019, he uploaded a fake deed to a city website, purporting to transfer ownership of the entire building to himself from the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, which bought the property in 1976. The church was founded in South Korea by a self-proclaimed messiah, the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

Barreto then tried to charge various entities as the owner of the building “including demanding rent from one of the hotel’s tenants, registering the hotel under his name with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection for water and sewage payments, and demanding the hotel’s bank transfer its accounts to him,” the prosecutor’s office said in the statement.

“As alleged, Mickey Barreto repeatedly and fraudulently claimed ownership of one of the City’s most iconic landmarks, the New Yorker Hotel,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

People like that should be tarred and feathered and tied to a mule to be sent out into the wilderness.

The level of entitlement of people today. You’ve already fraudulently gotten yourself a rent free place to live for years. Not good enough. I’m going to claim ownership of the whole building and try to charge rent (which I refused to pay) to other tenants. DIAF

I assume you're referring to the judge.

The freeloader is a POS, but the judge that allowed it is the REAL POS that needs to be dealt with.

What a ja for 1) being a drag on society. The world needs fewer people looking for loopholes 2) then not leaving well enough alone but getting cocky and pushing it

This is the same POS who said he was so disgusted seeing illegals attack those cops that he let him back out on the street with no bail. frick him and anyone who votes for him.

Nikola Tesla died in Room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel.

They have a plaque there.



Even with such a figure, it seems odd for a hotel to brag that someone died there.

The New York Supreme Court is not the “Supreme Court.” It’s what they basically call their district court. There are 2 appellate levels above that (one is also called the Supreme Court). He probably doesn’t even know that. The owners should win this at the Court of Appeals (New York’s highest court).

My brother is an HPD officer. In a not so great part of SE Houston a landlord owns a bunch of homes. When he needs to get rid of someone he doesn't bother with the court system as it takes too long.

He sends a small crew over to the house and they remove the front and back doors. They have them rigged so they can just remove them. They load the doors up and just leave with the house wide open.

My brother said this is a highly effective technique in those neighborhoods.
