Prospect Park Residence back in Brooklyn court over eviction of seniors
Now, a lawsuit between seller Deitsch and building buyers
Families of the elderly residents living the Brooklyn assisted living facility, Prospect Park Residence, were shocked to learn in court last week that the landlord had made an agreement back in January to sell the property for $76 million.
According to court documents, the deal would only close if the owner, Haysha Deitsch, cleared the elderly out of the 4th floor dementia unit and obtained a final discharge plan approved by the New York State Department of Health (DOH).
Deitsch emptied the dementia unit by June 2, and DOH approved a closure plan on Feb. 24. A legal dispute, however, has prevented the parties from closing on the sale.
