"The house at 212 Jefferson Avenue in Bed Stuy is at the center of an ownership struggle that stems from an heirs sale, which longtime resident Carmella Charrington and family members argue was fraudulent."
"Carmella Charrington has lived in the house with her family - which includes her children and grandchildren - for more than 17 years."
"In November 2023, city records show the house was sold by Leon Morrison and a number of supposed heirs, as well as Allman's conservator in Georgia, to 227 Group LLC for $1.4 million."
"In July of 2024, 227 Group LLC filed an eviction case against Charrington, her family, and other tenants, which led to the eviction warrant."
A protest in Bed Stuy against the eviction of longtime residents turned chaotic, resulting in violent arrests. The house at 212 Jefferson Avenue is embroiled in an ownership dispute, with Carmella Charrington claiming the sale was fraudulent. The Charrington family has owned the property for 60 years, but it was sold to 227 Group LLC for $1.4 million without their knowledge. The family argues that the supposed heirs had no legal right to sell the house, leading to an eviction case filed by the new owners in July 2024.
