Here now, the strange tale of "super" building super Mihaly (Mike) Kovacsevics, who worked at 427 Washington Street in Tribeca from 2007 to 2010 and is now holed up in a different sort of residence: Rikers Island. The handyman for late building owner and artist Shirley West is now awaiting trial for grand larceny for stealing $50,000 from one resident, 13 pieces of jewelry from another, and 500 paintings by the landlady. Oh, he's also an ex-con and an FBI informant. [New York Observer]
