That’s one way to get an apartment steps from Central Park.
A pair of alleged squatters from Oregon have commandeered a two-bedroom, rent-controlled co-op worth nearly $1 million on Manhattan’s ritzy Upper West Side after the longtime tenant died, according to court papers.
Sheila Upjohn, 72, of Salem, has been living in the roughly 1,100-square-foot pad on the ninth floor of 46 West 95th Street since 98-year-old resident Mary Etta Tanuma died in April 2022.

Someone here should do the same for Hillary. Bill won’t.
Rent control has stunning unintended consequences.
There are probably many thousands of deaths that were unreported so family members (or in this case caretakers) can live in the residence.
Shocking how little a million dollars buys in NYC.
Its the culture created by nearly 100 years of rent control in NY city.
The woman has no legal right to stay in place or “inherit” the woman’s rent-control status.
I also believe that $3500 NO WAY the present rent of that apartment. It should be much higher.
It was once known as trespass.
This is straight out of “Joe’s Apartment”.
Minus the singing and dancing cockroaches.
Another “reporter” who doesn’t understand fact gathering or math.
1 - If the controlled rent was $1,800, has the squatter been paying that since the real tenant died? Or been paying nothing?
2 - The landlord wants $3500 for each month she has been squatting. What does that mean? Does it mean that upon the death of the tenant (with no familial survivors being willed the apartment) the rent can be legally raised to current market? Thus the squatters would owe “market value” rent from the time of the death of the *legal* tenant.
3 - Or has the squatter been paying the $1,800 (or anything?) and the landlord wants $3,500 because the market value is actually $5,300?
Anyone here know?
Dims think the money we earn is really theirs. IN a way they are the real squatters.
The incompetence of so called journalists gets worse every. Teaching Grammar and clear writing is seemingly unimportant while staying on point with leftist messaging is the priority.
My family stayed up the street 100 th and CPW with my inlaws when I was in Nam 70-71
Gimmedats strike again
Democrats are sick... this ‘squatting’ thing was created and pushed by the commie wing of the progressive assh*le party.
George Soros is probably behind it.
Elect Trump - then change laws so squatters can be removed without insane piles of red tape (red tape democrat lawyers love to have to pad their other ill gotten gains)
They rented on CPW on a minsters salary.
My son walked down to school on w 95th
The apt on 20 th floor was robbed from the roof.
My MIL was mugged walking to subway.
My sons sled was stolen in CP
Don’t mind the maggots.
“Teaching Grammar and clear writing is seemingly unimportant while staying on point with leftist messaging is the priority.”
Remember! Proper grammar is white supremacy!

It is difficult to remove someone from a NYC apartment if the person has been living there for 30 days (or more). There does not have to be any money or written agreement involved. If you want someone to leave, the only two solutions are to work it out with the person privately or to go to court over it.
This is something all NYC residents should be aware of.
If you are illegally charging the person more than half the rent—as many apartment holders are able to do, because in a controlled apartment the rent is lower than usual—the person will have something to threaten you with.
It’s because of the housing shortage, but that is no excuse for this law, which is fairly new I believe.
Most of the consequences are intended. The main goal is to control who gets below-market housing. Party loyalty and under the counter "move-in fees" are the goal. If you are a Republican forget about getting a rent control unit.
The landlord pays for this, of course. As he runs out of money, routine maintenance suffers. I know a landlord who had to put in a whole new heating system. He went to the rent control board to increase his rents. They dropped his rents even further saying that he had improved his building. What!?
