There was some brave talk in an earlier thread about NYC squatters. Baseball bats, ax handles, guns, castle doctrine, the five NY criminal families, late night visits by several big, hairy friends...all mentioned as solutions to this problem.
This should run off those anonymous bloviators. You can’t even turn off the utilities YOU’RE PAYING FOR...or you’ll go to jail.
I saw one, where a home owner got smart and brought a bunch of snakes on his property and the squatters left.
You simply don’t pay the utilities in a passive way...let the utilities themselves shut them off. The judges can try to jail the home owner but in the end its Con Ed and the local water departments that have to shut off the utilities...not the homeowner. Also, since they have no bail laws...they have to let the home owners out of jail.
Oh NYC’s gonna get real messy real quick!
