The Other Side of Gentrification, Senior Citizens being Displaced

Her name is Marie Tinghitella a 90 year old resident of Williamsburg.

She just received a Marshals Notice of Eviction to vacate the apartment that she called home for the past 50 years.

With the Support of UNO, Saint Nicholas and Legal Aid for the Aging she was able to vacate the eviction notice for a couple months while she can find an affordable and decent place to leave, and hopefully in the community that she call home: Williamsburg.

According to our records, at least one Senior Citizen a month is displace or is facing harassment from their landlord.
