GRAVESEND—Three residents of 49 Bokee Court in Gravesend, along with Public Advocate Letitia James, have filed a federal lawsuit against the building's owner over plans to shut down its only elevator for four months for maintenance, which would effectively trap the elderly fifth- and sixth-floor residents in their own homes. The landlord had suggested that the residents "make arrangements to perhaps stay with family or friends." [CurbedWire Inbox]
