The 10,086-square-foot home at 2126 East 4th Street belonged to Eli Gindi, a real-estate developer whose family founded the Century 21 department-store chain. Gindi appears to have unloaded his Beaux-Arts-ish McMansion in an off-market deal to Victor Hakim, the founder and CEO of the Choice Home Warranty firm, according to city records and PincusCo, which first reported the transaction.
A 26-year-old man driving a car drove around another man, who became angry and broke the victim's window with a bike chain. Then, the man used that same bike chain to hit the victim multiple times.
