Tenants Defy Rent Demands in City Court Case
In the 2d District Municipal Court at 264 Madison Street a large crowd of about five hundred tenants served with dispossess notices gathered to defend themselves. Justice Dineen postponed the cases until Tuesday as hearings on the Manhattan Bridge clearance proceed, with many cases likely to span several days. The tenants, mainly on Forsyth Bayard Chrystie and Canal streets east of the Bowery, argue the city condemned the properties and thus owe no rent for the interim before razing.
