Notices To Quit Thicker Than Blood

Nephew tries to make a quick million selling off Cobble Hill real estate, evicting his own elderly, infirm aunts in the process:

Two Brooklyn sisters in their 80s are about to be tossed out of the house where they grew up – by their own nephew, who is hoping to make a cool million bucks by selling the building.

He is in such a rush to unload the Cobble Hill townhouse in a hot real-estate market he knocked $400,000 off the price – hawking it to any buyer willing to meet bizarre conditions.

“House is being offered for $999,999, without seeing it, without inspecting it, must close in 30 days, must be all cash and must take tenants in place,” said the listing on Corcoran’s Web site.

After an inquiry from the Daily News, Corcoran removed the ad. Broker Patricia Neinast would not say if the house is still on the market, but the owner claimed to have found a buyer.

And that could be bad news for sisters Katherine Carmada, 88, and Angelina Visconti, 86, who say they have nowhere to go if they are evicted from the cozy brick home their father bought a century ago.

(There is some backstory, I suppose: the landlord’s deadbeat cousin — the son of one of the aunts — apparently lives in the attic with his wife, so . . . but, gee, who can resist a DAILY NEWS EXCLUSIVE?)
