A family who were unlawfully evicted from their Sunset Park apartment nine years ago are to receive $275,000 after a settlement was reached with their former landlord during a trial in January.
The Solis family of five, who initially sought just $2,500 for the emotional distress caused by the 2014 eviction, took the action over a series of “demeaning, harassing, threatening, and unlawful conduct” by their former landlords which resulted in the family’s belongings being left on the street in garbage bags days before their eviction notice period was up.
