A West Village man has scored the deal of a lifetime, shacking up on Morton Street in a home that takes up a quarter of the block between Hudson and Greenwich?for free. What's his secret? An immunity to stench, mostly. The man, known as Dread, lives under a 6-foot high mountain of garbage. He's been there for eight years, and his shanty o' stink once took up half the block, making it even larger than the Olsen twins' penthouse. The city would tear it down, but it's landmark district.
