Pizzaboy, any luck in those court proceedings? After college, I worked for a year at an organization in Brooklyn that helped tenants take their landlords to court to prevent evictions amongst doing tons of other things...
It's the last resort, Dapper. You think I enjoy putting people in the street?
And yes, I've successfully evicted people in court. The Bronx housing court on the Concourse is particularly pro-tenant, but when you haven't been paid in almost a year, even the most liberal judge will eventually force the marshalls into action.
We also own a property on West 8th Street in Manhattan. From what I've heard, the courts are much more pro-landlord down there, but I've never been put in that position with that building. It's a much different clientele.
I know you wouldnt enjoy kicking people out, no sane compassionate person would. It is a very sad thing. I have been to that courthouse for jury duty, it is a disaster with all the security and people in front of the building trying to get in. Takes forever.
