Landlord Lets Smell Of Dead Cats Out Of The Bag; Stench Released In Hope Tenants Would Flee
NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― Tenants of a Brooklyn building say their landlord came up with a new idea for how to kick them out: Let the smell of the cats out of the bag.
Dead cats, that is.
The stench from the carcasses did catch the tenants' attention -- but they stayed and sued.
One tenant, Daisy Terry, told a City Hall news conference on Friday it was so bad she had to hold her nose coming down the stairs.
The building in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood was purchased last year by a company listed in court papers as Heskel. A call to Heskel Properties in Manhattan was not immediately returned.
Terry says the landlord used the dead cats to try to push out rent-stabilized tenants.
Ok...I have questions! Where in the hell did he get that many dead cats at the same time from? and...Where did he put the dead cats to get the maximum amount of stink per unit? I'm thinking the duct work!
