Rumblings from the Chelsea Hotel’s Law Firm Belkin Burden

     New York real estate legend Dan Peckham sent us this e-newsletter produced by Belkin Burden a few years back, but we didn’t make the connection that the law firm trying to evict him was also the Chelsea Hotel’s law firm!  They haven’t had much luck getting rid of  Peckham, now have they?  That certainly gives us reason to be optimistic. 
     On the other hand, this newsletter should make your head spin.  In it Belkin Burden is basically advertising that they can get rid of rent stabilized tenants through luxury decontrol and demolition application.  (The latter presumably includes the so called “phony demolition” that they used against Peckham.) At least it’s good to know where we stand with these guys.  Get ready to rumble indeed.
