Mr. Perez is a senior citizen and a longtime friend of Strycker's Bay. He had just returned from visiting family in Puerto Rico. When he entered his apartment he found that his bed, color television and two radios had been removed from his apartment. He contacted our office frantic.
Janice, SBNC's Tenant Advocate went to his home immediately. She contacted the police who discovered the building Superintendent had removed Mr. Perez's belongings. THIS ACTION WAS ILLEGAL! There was NO COURT ORDERED EVICTION!.
