From a resident of Quincy Street in Bed Stuy: “Spent hours last night convincing cops that men breaking in to house next door were not owners – no arrests but they all left.”

What a wacky story…One would imagine that if there was some aspect of legal possession by the folks occupying the house they would have had more to say than go f*ck yourself.
Oh goody! I am going out now to walk the streets and look for a house I can adversely possess. Bye bye, MM! Now where can I adversely possess some new furniture?
By the way, a week closed up is not the specified period of time. Nor was the property abandoned. There’s a difference between adverse possession and outright theft.
What…you’ve been missing a stock market rally the last 2 weeks. Being too early (as were your doom and gloom posts back in 2006) and being now too late are the same as being wrong.
“And, What, just because you said this would happen does not make it either legal or something that should be tolerated. Schadenfreude on your part is one thing–advocating illegal activity is another.”
What Schadenfreude, Brownstoner? I am stating a legal fact! Do you know the circumstances? Do you go over to the property, bang on the the door and get the other side of the story? These people may own this house! Maybe James Jordan is a sore loser because he could not buy this house. We do not have all the facts.
“No I wasn’t breaking and entering officer, I was just trying to adversely possess the property”
As funny as it sounds you will see more of it.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Note: Schadenfreude has been replaced with scared to death for me…
What – you have no idea how adverse possession works in NY. Why don’t you look up the uninterrupted possession period and see if thats gonna work for you. I think not.
Adverse possession is *extremely* difficult to do and rarely upheld in the courts.
You’re not a lawyer; your googling skills aside, What, so STFU.
“You guys are insane if you think anyone should be able to just break in to a house while it’s in the process of being sold and call it their own. ”
Adverse possession Brownstoner, it’s the law. Guess what? It will become more popular when every thing goes Tango Uniform. Just the sign of things to come.
Plus what if those guys pulled a weapon and seriously wounded jamesdoran?? He would’ve been in intensive care or dead and for what? Sometimes it is, what it is…
“Everyone’s a lawyer because they can google Wikepedia. ”
Dave I told everyone here this was going to happen, prior to you.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end.
No I wasn’t breaking and entering officer, I was just trying to adversely possess the property
