Squatter from hell finally banned from pricey NYC building hes terrorized for past year

A notorious “squatter from hell” has finally been banned from the pricey Greenwich Village building he’s been terrorizing for nearly a year.Melvin DeJesus, who transformed 400 Bleecker St.in the hip Manhattan neighborhood into a real-life house of horrors — with all-night death threats howled at terrified tenants — is no longer allowed to enter the building, at least for now, according to the judge handling the lawsuit filed by the building’s owner earlier this year.The extraordinary ruling goes into effect immediately and states that DeJesus is “enjoined and restrained from entering the building” pending the lawsuit’s resolution, wrote Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Kathy J.
KingHe also must entirely steer clear of the property.DeJesus previously ignored a court order to cease his “disruptive behavior,” which “demonstrates that he is either unable or unwilling to abide by a Court order directing him to cease the objectionable conduct,” King wrote in her decision.“The balance of equities tips in Plaintiff’s favor, based on [DeJesus’] ongoing and flagrant disregard with the peace and quiet enjoyment of the staff, tenants, and occupants at the premises,” the order reads.This is a breaking story.Please check back for updates....
