The New York State Attorney General’s Office claims a situation leading to a protest rally \u2013 and later the arrests of several people, including Councilmember Chi Oss\u00e9 \u2013 was not a case of deed theft.<\/p>\n
Authorities said city marshals and sheriff\u2019s deputies arrived on Jefferson Avenue around 7:30 a.m. to carry out an eviction and locate the father of homeowner Carmella Charrington. The situation escalated, leading to multiple arrests, including Oss\u00e9\u2019s, who was later released.<\/p>\n
Oss\u00e9 posted on social media to say that he is concussed from the incident.<\/p>\n
It is the latest development in a yearslong legal battle over the brownstone, which advocates say is part of a broader pattern of deed theft cases impacting homeowners across New York City.<\/p>\n
The Attorney General’s Office says they reviewed the case in April of last year and claim it’s not a deed theft, but a property dispute. They say it stems from conflicting claims from heirs of the property’s former owners.<\/p>\n
Charrington claims the deed was sold by a family member who does not maintain the property.<\/p>\n
\u201cBreak it down. If it\u2019s not a deed theft case. It\u2019s a deed theft case if I didn\u2019t authorize it. If you had a house and you didn\u2019t authorize it, what would it be to you?” said Charrington.<\/p>\n
The Attorney General’s Office says it doesn’t have the authority to intervene on these disputes, but says it has met with Charrington multiple times to give guidance on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York State Attorney General’s Office claims a situation leading to a protest rally \u2013 and later…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-207844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
