A New York City woman was recently arrested for unlawful eviction after trying to remove squatters from a $1 million home in Flushing, Queens.
According to ABC 7, 47-year-old Adele Andaloro was arrested for changing the locks on a home she was selling after discovering that squatters had taken up residence in the property she inherited from her family. New York City law makes it illegal for landlords or property owners to remove “tenants” from a building if an individual has inhabited a space for over 30 days, even if they never signed a lease.
