![]() ![]() Three months later, longtime East Midtown Plaza resident Alicia Echevarria sued Andermanis and his wife, Sandra Andermanis, saying they should not have been allowed to move into the four-bedroom apartment because their family was too small.Įchevarria, 45, also argued that if officials were going to make an exception, she should have been offered the larger apartment first, since she was ahead of Andermanis on a separate waitlist for three-bedroom apartments. He was a co-op board member at the time, records show. The waitlist for four-bedroom apartments at East Midtown Plaza was only open to families with at least six members, but Andermanis was granted permission to move in in April 2012 even though he did not meet that requirement, according to court records. His lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.Ĭity rules require affordable Mitchell-Lama developments, like East Midtown Plaza, to compile a waiting list of residents who are eligible to transfer to larger apartments and then to award the apartments in chronological order as they become available. “It's a slanderous suit that had no merit whatsoever,” Andermanis said before declining to speak further about the details of his appeal. New York's Supreme Court ruled last year that Andermanis, president of the 748-unit co-op, needed to return the four-bedroom apartment to the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development so that the agency could give it to the person who was next in line.Īndermanis, who is still living in the apartment, appealed the decision and his case is set to be heard in state's Appellate Division on Wednesday. Mark Andermanis is fighting to keep his recently renovated home in the Kips Bay complex after one of his neighbors sued him for cutting the line of people waiting for the sought-after four-bedroom unit, one of the largest available in the 333 E. KIPS BAY - The president of affordable housing co-op East Midtown Plaza is in danger of being evicted because he broke city rules to unfairly secure a four-bedroom apartment for himself and his family, according to court documents. ![]() Crown Heights, Prospect Heights & Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens & Red Hook. ![]()
