NYC: Councilwoman and congressional candidate Julie Won “squatted” in luxury Queens condo, landlord alleges

Source: New York Post

“An NYC councilwoman running for Congress owes $25,000 in back rent after squatting for five months in a luxury high-rise, according to her ex-landlord and court documents. Councilwoman Julie Won (D-Queens) and her family vacated a one-bedroom condo at swanky Skyline Towers on Long Island City’s waterfront on Monday — three days after being slapped with eviction papers by the condo’s owner, Justin Chae, a top NYC political consultant and former family friend. … Won insisted to The Post that she and her political strategist husband Eugene Noh never signed any lease on the luxury pad, claiming Chae forged her name onto a bogus lease agreement.” (06/07/26)
