For the four families who once lived at 267 E. 202nd St., the year of turmoil is over.

After living through a year where they were nearly evicted from their home, battled their new landlord in court over repairs as a way to delay eviction proceedings, and ultimately forced out following a devastating three-alarm fire, the tenants have found new lodgings. They’ve also happened to settle their case against their landlord, Peter Fine.

Fine, who was in the middle of being sued when the home broke out in flames over the summer, settled the cases with tenants for an undisclosed sum of money. The tenants are now scattered, living outside the Bronx and relying on public assistance to get by. Many declined to discuss the terms of the settlement, fearing they would be taken away.

In many ways, the tenants were glad the days of shuffling to Housing Court every other week were over. Andrew Darcy, the pro bono attorney representing the families through MFY Legal Services, said his clients had little interest in moving back in anyway.

“It’s not that there was necessarily a connection with the building. It was affordable in a neighborhood that they liked,” Darcy said. But it wasn’t well-maintained. For years, I think they had been living with issues.”

Still, the news opens the door for Fine to likely demolish the building, opting instead to construct a 20-unit property that exploits the neighborhood’s current zoning laws. It was a move many suspected was in the works the moment Fine, an affordable and luxury housing developer, purchased the property, which abuts a parking lot. The tenants will miss the aftermath: a further congested Bedford Park that chips away at its suburban quality.

“This is one example that may be occurring in many neighborhoods, including neighborhoods close to Bedford Park, this is one little dot of a big painting that’s taken place over the last year,”

Darcy is aware of the double-edge sword. By helping his clients, Fine, who has not filed for any building permits, can build a much taller building.

“I know that’s going to anger a lot of people, especially knowing their history with Peter Fine,” Darcy said. “However, you know that couldn’t affect our representation of these individuals.”

Fine’s purchase of the property continues the construction boom blanketing the Bronx. The trend is favored by the de Blasio administration, which, in attempting to fix the affordable housing and homelessness crisis simultaneously, has created a pro-building atmosphere for developers.

John Reilly, a resident who helped get tenants housing thanks to his background in affordable housing, said the city has now taken other considerations to encourage mindful development.

“Efforts to create some mixed income housing as well as community needs such as transportation, parking, education and recreation space and other public and community facilities are now getting more consideration,” Reilly said.

Fine has been in the real estate business since the 1990s, having founded Atlantic Development Group with partner Marc Alheim. He has built luxury housing in Florida, and has since eyed Bedford Park for development.

He may not get the warmest reception following the year of change for the tenants and the community at large.

A spokesman for Fine was unavailable for comment.
