Former tenants of an East Village building destroyed in a fatal 2015 gas explosion claim the new owner is stiffing them out of roughly $2 million in housing stipends, according to a new lawsuit. Developer Yanic Cohen shelled out $9. 15 million in 2017 for the distressed, vacant lots and built a 21-unit “boutique” luxury condo on the Second Avenue site where an explosion, caused by an illegal gas line, killed two people and destroyed three buildings over a decade ago.
