Paterson campaign in Park Avenue rent spat

The state Democratic Committee has been served an eviction notice on the Park Avenue South office space it once shared with the now-defunct reelection campaign of outgoing Gov. David Paterson. According to the Daily News, Paterson for Governor and the state Democratic Party owe Rose Hill Property Associates $28,848 in rent dating back to Oct. 1 on their 10th-floor space at 461 Park Avenue South, and Paterson’s campaign is allegedly to blame. “Suffice it to say that our obligations have been met,” State Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs said. An official from the Paterson campaign, which was called off in February, said the rent dispute was a “complicated situation.” [NYDN]
