Shaya Boymelgreen
Paul Bright, a Smith Street condo owner who successfully sued Shaya Boymelgreen over construction problems in his building, says the embattled developer — and the $1,800 in damages he was ordered by a judge to pony up — is now nowhere to be found. “As soon as they lost the judgment, they disappeared,” Bright told the Daily News, which couldn’t reach Boymelgreen for comment. The sheriff’s office, which Bright called in order to get the judgment enforced, couldn’t find him either. In April, Boymelgreen was evicted from his Prospect Heights headquarters near Atlantic Yards after his landlord lost the building to eminent domain. In March, his LibertyPointe Bank was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and he’s also facing a slew of lawsuits from condo buyers over allegedly shoddy construction at his buildings.
