150 Charles Street Owners Seek $624K in Rent, Eviction
The sale they say collapsed was priced $2.17M, or 47%, above the 2015 deed in the public record.
The owners of a $26,000-a-month condo at 150 Charles Street want $624,000 in rent from the occupants and say a $6.75 million sale collapsed while the tenants stayed. ACRIS shows the owners, Cathy L. Crane and Salvatore Trentalancia, paid $4,582,125 for unit 2AN in October 2015, so the lost sale was priced 47.3% above their cost.
Why it matters
The stake is a gain the record makes concrete. The 2015 deed is the last transfer of record on the unit, so a $6.75 million sale would have returned $2,167,875 over the purchase price, before costs. That is the money the owners say they lost when, per their July complaint as reported by the New York Post, the occupants refused showings after a lease that ran Aug. 22, 2024 to July 31, 2025 expired.
The Post reports the occupants dispute this, say payments were on time, and question whether the buyer was real. The dispute is unproven. The Post also reports a December trial in the eviction case. For West Village condo owners who rent units out, the case tests how an overstay clause that doubles rent holds up when a sale is pending. See the New York market page for other filings read against the record.
The numbers
The deed runs from the building’s sponsor, 150 Charles Street Holdings, LLC, to the two owners for $4,582,125, dated Oct. 13, 2015 and recorded Oct. 23, 2015. A $1,800,000 mortgage was recorded the same day, or 39.3% of the price. The Post does not name the unit, so linking it to 2AN rests on the owners’ names. No satisfaction of that mortgage is indexed against the lot, and ACRIS cannot show the current balance.
The owners ask for $624,000 under the doubled-rent clause, or alternatively $327,600, plus at least $30,000 for utilities and charges, at least $100,000 in legal fees and $250,000 in punitive damages, per the Post. At $26,000 a month the base rent is $312,000 a year, about 4.6% of the $6.75 million sale price.
What’s next
Watch for the December trial and for any new ACRIS filing on lot 1214, such as a deed or a mortgage payoff. The occupants have denied the owners’ account to the Post, and the court file was not reviewed for this story.
