i refuse to take the developer side with this kind of issue, moreso because much more often its the owners and redevelopers harrassing and chasing the residents out via illegal tactics. publicity will probably save this guy from that.

So instead you take the side of unemployed-by-choice people in non-rent controlled apartments angling for 8 figure buyouts and their lawyers like David Rozenholc, who specializes in tenant holdout cases and who collect one-third of the settlements? A third of 8 figures is guaranteed to be north of $3 million. Plus all those delay tactics to buy more residential time for his client? What a racket.
Ozsu can only do this because of the pandemic renter-relief program, which was not intended for instances such as what we have here.
Maybe developers more often than not screw over the little guy as you claim. But that doesn't appear to be what's happening in this case.
