Squatters Found Inside Multi-Million Dollar Manhattan Townhouse

On Friday, three squatters were found inside an empty multi-million-dollar Manhattan townhouse owned by a designer to celebrities.

The Upper East Side home, owned by Richard Stark, co-founder of Chrome Hearts, a luxury retail brand, was raided by the cops owned.

Police haven’t officially pressed charges against the woman and two men found at the four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 5,000- square-foot home at 159 E. 64th St.

There was once a store inside the home but closed nearly a decade ago. It appears the four-story townhouse has been vacant since.

Neighbor Joel Mindel, 82, and his wife Susan have lived on the street since the 1980s. They say the home has long been in disrepair and causes problems on the street.

“They had all these notices on the door for Con-Ed to go inside to check the water or electricity. All these notices piled up and became violations on the website,” Susan said. 

“We don’t like abandoned buildings on our street. It’s a threat.” Joel said. “Someone can always get in like a robber can get in and go on the roof to get into our home. It’s not safe.” 

A spokesperson said Chrome Hearts was apparently unaware of the arrests and any police activity at the home.
