Daphne Charles
Eugene's Neighbor
The City Council will start interviewing Mathieu Eugene's family, landlord, and neighbors to find out whether the Councilman-elect was living in the district at the time of the election, a requirement for taking office.
According to one neighbor who spoke to the Daily News, things don't look good.
A downstairs neighbor, Daphne Charles, 28, said she remembers hearing people move in upstairs only "late in the week" of the Feb. 20 election.
If Eugene is disqualified from holding office, that would create another vacancy for the seat. The mayor would then have to call another special election, according to Jerry Skurnik.
