Exactly. $200 a montb is nothing. It is very easy when you have experience to leverage it for a higher paying job. Besides the fact that their three kids are working age!
Isn't it illegal for 5 people to be living all at the same time in a studio apt.? (Can't their current LL force them out on this basis especially since they have some place to go?)
Abbas Chouman is a common name. More over person in above criminal action was living in Astoria since 2002 before being arrested in 2007. Guy in picture has teenaged children and looks about nearly 60 or so.
Finally they didn't luck into that RS studio apartment for $1200/month on West 29th recently. Know that area and street well as have a friend from college who lives a few blocks east near 7th. Rents around there have been going up since Chelsea has been rapidly gentrifying.
Lottery for The Max affordable units was last year and might be ongoing. There is no way anyone with a recent criminal record (from 2007) would have sailed through the process. Besides cannot see NY1 giving someone airtime on their housing plight if they were a convicted criminal without at least mentioning that bit of information.
Are you sure that is the same guy? The guy was in the story is a retired disabled cab driver.
Also, in the link that you posted has that guy going to FEDERAL prison for almost 5 years. I doubt that a person that went for federal prison would be accepted for a housing lottery.
Seriously, kids are also old enough to get a part time job.
The 19 year old has a job. I doubt anyone would bother hiring a 14 or 16 year old since they would need to abide by youth employment rules. Why bother when they are so many legal age adults to choose from??
