This strategy will not work. Why? Because a squatter isn’t trespassing, they are claiming adverse occupation or squatter’s rights. What’s the difference?

A trespasser is someone that knowingly enters someone’s house, building or land without permission or authorization, but without the intention of claiming the property as their own. Trespassing is a criminal offense. Call the Sheriff.

On the other hand, a squatter is claiming ownership. To get rid of a squatter, the owner must go through the civil court system (rather than the criminal system). File a lawsuit. The Sheriff can’t help.

The idea is that a law must be broken in order to give the landlord leverage.

As if breaking and entering is not a law already on the books.

The crime of trespassing is not valid without notification of trespassing. Thus the signs.

Someone else already nailed it.
"No trespassing" might as well be a neon vacancy light for squatters.

The Inability to govern in new York is impossible to comprehend.
The combined IQ of government employees should be studied for other cities and future generations to guide a path to civility.

I up voted you for being right, but I should have down voted you for being right.
