The Daily News scored an exclusive account of life inside the Economakis building on East 3rd Street-- their intern Barry Paddock happens to be one of the tenants getting evicted: "In eviction papers, they laid out a plan to combine our cramped but beloved rent-stabilized apartments into a suburban-style mansion. Apartments on my floor would be demolished and replaced by a hanging walkway overlooking their new two-story living room." Bonus fact: the Economakis family paid less than $1M for the building in 2003-- about the cost of a one bedroom apartment in Manhattan today.

Pay the tenants to move as most LL's do it's
called buying the tenants rights of possession.
Standard procedure in NYC.
I feel so sorry for the renters. NOT! If the new ownres want to put in a five story waterfall in the middle of their building and the rent stabilized or rent controlled shits can't move fine. Cut off water and electricity and get the assholes out.
Squatter jerks shouldn't have any right to living in the space anymore than other cheap shits.
"owners" sorry Jen.
One more thing Barry. Since you are so distressed about being evicted from your rent-stabilized apartment why don't you protest same by jumping off their newly built "hanging walkway overlooking their new two-story living room?"
BTW you can also take your Jimmie Hendrix and Che Guevara posters with you.
The blood of the rich will flow in the streets. God willing.
If all the money the rich people have was given to the poor people within two years the rich people would have it again.
Hey, whatever. If Economakis wants a five story sex dungeon for his little girl, then I say godspeed. It sucks for those tennants but that's what happens when you own something...you get to have your way with it.
thankfully Pb is still cheap.
