"The house at 212 Jefferson Ave. is at the center of an ownership struggle stemming from an heirs sale, which the Charrington family argues was fraudulent."
"In November 2023, city records show the house was sold by Leon Morrison and a number of supposed heirs to 227 Group LLC for $1.4 million, despite the Charrington family still residing there."
"In July of 2024, 227 Group LLC filed an eviction case against Charrington, her family, and other tenants, leading to the issuance of an eviction warrant."
A protest in Bed-Stuy against the eviction of longtime residents turned chaotic, resulting in violent arrests. The property at 212 Jefferson Ave. is embroiled in an ownership dispute. Carmella Charrington claims the sale of the house was fraudulent, as her family has owned it for 60 years. The house was sold to 227 Group LLC for $1.4 million without her father's knowledge. Charrington argues that the supposed heirs lacked legal authority to sell the property, leading to an eviction case filed by 227 Group LLC in July 2024.
