So, the disgusting roommate was legally evicted by the judge last Thursday afternoon.

It was issued WITHOUT STAY and effective the very next day.

Problem is the bureaucratic backlog in NYC that it will take 4-6 weeks for the marshals to serve this pig with the 14-day notice.

Meanwhile, she continues to urinate and defecate and store trash in her room to the point of the entire apartment smelling like a public toilet and cockroaches overrunning it.

Today, we gave her until 5pm to throw out the bags of trash she has stored in that room, AND to clean it to eradicate the ammonia stench of urine coming from inside of it.

We did not arrive at that decision lightly.

For MONTHS, as we waited to be see by the judge, we would mop all the floors outside the perimeter of that room. For a while it worked. Now the urine smell is so overwhelming that that does not work anymore.

So if she does not meet the 5pm deadline, we will be going in and eradicating the stench of urine with a cleaning onslaught.

We are done with this. And done with a system that allows a squatter to remain in an apartment for nearly two more months.

The owner of this apartment is almost 80. He never was very bright. But now couple that with cognitive decline and you can see why he allowed this squatter in here —- who ALREADY had 4 evictions on her record.

I had to take on the entire process of court paperwork and making sure he made it to the court dates. I am now having to manage the process with the marshal as well.

I’m done with this squatter and her stench.

Have any of you gone through this? And if so, how did you handle it?

Because it is clear that her intent is to remain here until the marshals put her out.

One week from tomorrow, the squatter who has been terrorizing our apartment for the last six months has to appear in housing court. The primary roommate who moved her in who is a combination of lazy, stupid, senile, dumb has done very little to expedite all of this. All of getting this case to court, I have to take the credit for. I literally had to do everything. Because he can’t retain thoughts from one minute to the next. So I had to make sure everything was followed up on with the case filing and with the Process Server and everything else.

This entire situation has taken a toll on me. I am exhausted. This squatter is the one of nightmares. She is clearly mentally ill. And if that isn’t enough, she smokes cigarettes and weed and methamphetamines in her room. Smell of which has permeated the walls in that room so badly that the primary roommate who is also cheap in addition to be stupid, is now going to have to pony up at least six to $7000 to repair and clean.

The squatter stores her urine in bowls in the room.

We’ve had NYPD come twice because of her yelling, death threats. They’ve taken her away as an emotionally disturbed person twice and each time she was back within hours from the hospital. The bedroom that she stays in is off the living room. And the stench that comes from it is so disgusting all I can describe it as is a wall of urine smoke and rotting trash. You nearly gag from the smell. There is a door, a French door that closes the living room room off from the rest of the apartment. I close it. She opens it so the stench can wander out. So lately I have been mopping the floor down with Pine-Sol every day to mask the stink. I have recently started spritzing peppermint oil, and that has helped greatly.

We have photos and videos of the stored urine in the room, the ruined mattress and box spring and the rotting food in bags in the room. We will be showing those to the judge in court next Monday. Because the primary roommate is so cognitively bad I have to appear in court with him to make sure he doesn’t one not show up to go off on some stupid story.

The primary roommate has done nothing but bring chaos into the apartment over and over and over again. This woman is not the first she is just the worst. And his stupid story that he likes to tell everyone is that he was being nice when he rented the apartment to this very clearly deranged woman. He sounds like a fool every time he says it. His own daughter has stopped speaking to him because of it. In the beginning, she was helping with getting things done legally.

And then she just tapped out because she got tired of it. And she also knows like I know that after he is out of this legal situation, he’s gonna put himself into another one. Because that’s how stupid he is.

That room is beyond damaged. When NYPD came the first time they breached the door that she had locked so now the door frame is destroyed. The door closes, but it does not lock. Which is a good thing considering it’s going to take the Marshals coming to remove this disgusting woman from the apartment.

The primary roommate has a lot of trouble because of this now. His greed and stupidity have him looking at the co-op board, taking possible legal action against him. They are out for blood. And he is either too cognitively gone, or too stupid to realize that they’re not playing around and that they are likely going to take legal action to force him to sell his shares. He doesn’t know that I know that he is also in really serious arrears in his maintenance. And that’s another reason why they’re going to go after him.

The good news for me is that I’m about to go in contract on my own apartment. He doesn’t know anything about it and I won’t be telling him anything about it until the day before I move out of here.

I have come to despise the primary roommate tremendously. Almost as much as I despise this disgusting squatter.

It is just chaos again and again with him. Every time he gets out of one situation, he puts himself into another. And even with everything that has happened in all of the money that he has lost and is about to lose with all of the damages, he has to repair, he still won’t learn anything from it. But by the time he moves someone else into that room, I will be long gone.❤️

There is a problematic roommate who has not paid rent in three months.

If the primary roommate had bothered to do a background check, he would have found out that she has FOUR evictions on her record!!

The process server is coming tomorrow morning to serve her with the 30-day notice.

I expect all hell to break loose. This roommate is mentally unstable already. And when she gets that she will likely escalate her already bad behavior. Today she went into the bathroom and stole all of the primary roommate’s toiletries and put them in her room.

I’m already on standby for after she is served to call NYPD.

So I am currently watching a roommate situation go from bad to worse. The roommate who owns this apartment rented a room to a woman about four months ago. It is obvious by looking at her that she has some mental issues. She talks to herself and etc., etc. After the first month, he wanted her to leave and she told him she didn’t have the money to leave so being the fool that he is, he let her stay another month so for the second month she paid him then he decided in the middle of the second month that he wanted her to leave.

She has now STOPPED paying him.

This woman is problematic. She’s also nasty. She leaves the bathroom a mess. She will use the toilet and not flush it and leave it for everyone to find. And she screams and makes noises in the middle of the night to the point where it could be heard outside of the unit by all the other people in the building.

So I got a call from the board president yesterday telling me, since we’re friends, that the board is about to move on, forcing the main roommate who collects the rent, to sell his apartment because of this problem and many other problems in the past. I want to tell him as a last stitch effort. Maybe he should offer her $500 to get out of the apartment by the end of the day. Do you think that would work?

I’m working on moving out because I am tired of the constant drama. This is the ninth person he has moved in here in a row who has brought nonsense. I also found out that he tried to get one of the building workers to threaten and intimidate her to leave!!

He claims to have gone to Housing Court to evict her, but he’s also a liar, so there’s that. And it would take months to get her out.

Interested in hearing your thoughts.
