A realtor showed him the wrong apartment, which he then renovated only to later find out that it's the wrong apartment. It's on NY Fox5 News now. I'll see if I can find a video.

EDIT: I can't find the video and it wasn't the news that reported it. The story comes from Inside Edition Weekend and you can read about it here for now. http://www.insideedition.com/news.aspx?storyID=2753 (broken link)
