I was, as we say in England, “gob smacked” to read this bit of PR spin. The ‘classic tactics’ described by the member of STOP sound quite right. To say, “Those tenants who have held out are constantly harassed by threatened or actual litigation, or at least are never sure what will come next creating extreme stress.” is actually understated!
I always feared this new entity, Magnum (and all its registered little companies) was some malevolent rhizome of the controversial Ohebshalom landlord family.
For the record no one in London had ever heard of The Citizen’s Arts Club in London and there is no phone number even an unlisted one, so how did Shaoul pass off the $8.25 million house on 14th St as the US branch of this club? Whatever the Norwood will end up being, it was never going to be an arts club.
Many of the other comments suggest that only slackers are attacked in a honorable plan to rebuild a crumbling city; this also is not true. Nobody is safe if they stand in Magnum’s path. The turnover of the small businesses in Nolita who open in a Shaoul commercial space is alarming; the owners are fleeced of their start-up money and sent packing back to whatever state they came from.
