A six-figure wage broker who claimed that he earns almost $ 25 000 per year to live in a social apartment should leave after a court decision, reports The Real Deal.
David Sans tried to continue to rent an apartment for $ 722 per month in Douglaston Development's Ohm in Chelsea, after a state audit found that it is among the tenants of social housing, while having six-figure incomes.
The court ruled that Sans had no sound explanation of the reasons for which he was to receive a rental discount. In addition, he could not provide a reasonable explanation of how his income rose to a six-digit figure.
Sans claimed that Douglaston Development's Ohm had to issue a "notice of non-compliance" in order to evict him on the grounds that he had violated the terms of the lease.
“This ruling gives owners the opportunity to act quickly when false statements from low-income tenants threaten valuable low-income housing tax credits,” said Howard Kingsley of Rosenberg & Estis, who represented Douglaston.
An audit issued last year by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli showed that Sans announced an annual salary of $ 24 745 when he applied for one of the available apartments in the 34-floor building Douglaston Development's Ohm on 312 11 Avenue in 2012 year. In fact, he earned 8 more than once.
When Sans re-filed his income statement, he submitted a tax return for 2012 a year, showing that his income jumped to $ 238 000. This fact does not give him the right to rent affordable housing.
He claimed that he received the post of top manager in Mount sinai hospital 3 a month after settling in his affordable apartment, and reported income of $ 456502.
