The owner of a mansion in Queens’ College Point neighborhood hopes to sell a property despite having 125 open housing violations on record, the New York Daily News reported. Eva Rohan wants to sell the 19th-century building to contractor Robert Cunniffe by the end of the month. The Department of Buildings last year said conditions at the building, the Schleicher House on 123rd Street, were “imminently perilous.” Tenants alleged that Rohan neglected repairs at the building in an effort to force the tenants out. Rohan said tenants have withheld rent, making her unable to pay for repairs. The Landmarks Preservation Commission is reportedly considering landmarking the mansion.
