A local New York ABC News affiliate reported on the threat squatters are posing to residents and offered tips on how they can protect their homes from unwelcome guests, including putting up “No trespassing” signs.
ABC 7 Eyewitness News investigative reporters Dan Krauth and Nina Pineda detailed the threat that squatters can pose under New York law, where a person can claim squatters’ rights if they have lived in a home for more than 30 days.
Efforts to change this law have gained serious traction in recent days after video of New York City property owner Adele Andeloro getting arrested for confronting squatters at what she claimed to be her residence went viral.
