Members of the 83-85 Bowery Tenants Association have been on hunger strike for five days outside the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The City's promised deadline to get the Bowery tenants home has passed and the tenants are still displaced. Last month, landlord Joseph Betesh colluded with the City to carry out a mass eviction of 85 Bowery's low-income tenants, many whom are elderly and children as young as newborn babies.
