A New York City property owner recently ended up in handcuffs following a fiery standoff with alleged squatters who she has been trying to boot from her family’s home, tense footage shows.Adele Andaloro, 47, was nabbed after changing the locks last month on the $1 million home in Flushing, Queens, that she says she inherited from her parents when they died, ABC’s Eyewitness News reported.“It’s enraging,” the homeowner said of the squatter saga.“It’s not fair that I, as the homeowner, have to be going through this.”
In New York City, a person can claim “squatter’s rights” after just 30 days of living at a property.Under the law, it is illegal for the homeowner to change the locks, turn off the utilities, or remove the belongings of the “tenants” from the property.“By the time someone does their investigation, their work, and their job, it will be over 30 days and this man will still be in my home,” Andaloro said.“I’m really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home,” she added.
