Ahmet Nejat Ozsu, a 51-year-old tenant at the Eagle Court building in New York City\u2019s Upper West Side, is refusing to vacate his rental despite the building\u2019s sale to the Naftali Group for $70 million in June 2021. The new owners intend to tear down the building and construct a luxury tower with eleven units, each valued at around $40 million.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ozsu, who has resided in the building for sixteen years, pays over $3,350 per month for his 700-square foot apartment, which includes a private deck. Despite owing approximately $13,000 in back rent, he has not kept up with payments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although the new landlords informed all tenants about the need to relocate, Ozsu is determined to stay and has demanded a $1 million payout to leave. His lawyer, Adam Leitman Bailey, claims Ozsu is standing up for New Yorkers who couldn\u2019t afford high-priced lawyers and intends to stay as long as legally permitted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In response, Naftali filed a lawsuit against Ozsu seeking $25 million in damages and offered him $30,000 to move out. The landlord has employed tactics to encourage Ozsu to leave, including unnecessary construction and the installation of loud fans outside his door.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ozsu described the noise as resembling a jet, causing constant discomfort. The legal battle continues, highlighting the complexities that can arise when existing tenants resist eviction following a property sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
