A New York City homeowner was arrested after changing the locks to her property that was allegedly taken over by squatters.
A property owner in New York City was arrested after a stand-off with a group of squatters who allegedly took over the woman's property following her parents' deaths. 'It’s enraging,' Adele Andaloro told ABC 7. 'It’s not fair that I, as the homeowner, have to be going through this.' Andaloro was recently arrested on her property in Flushing, Queens, after changing the locks on the home. Andaloro, 47, said she inherited the $1 million home from her parents after they died.
Before police left, they warned Andaloro she could face legal penalties if she changed the locks, as it's illegal to turn off any utilities or change the locks of a home where someone says they are a tenant, ABC7 reported. HANDYMAN-TURNED-SQUATTER HUNTER OUTLINES ‘NIGHTMARE SCENARIO’ WHEN MIGRANTS CATCH ON TO HOUSING LAWS 'I may end up in handcuffs today if a man shows up here and says I have illegally evicted him,' Andaloro said.
