Sharif El-Gamal, developer of Ground Zero mosque, evicted from SoHo office for racking up back rent
UPDATED AT BOTTOM OF POST
Sharif el-Gamal, developer of the mosque near
Ground Zero, is being evicted from his office in SoHo for racking up $39,000 in back rent.
The developer of the Ground Zero mosque is being bounced from his SoHo office, the Daily News has learned.
Sharif El-Gamal, who runs the real estate firm Soho Properties and is heading the project two blocks from Ground Zero, was slapped with eviction proceedings last month after tallying up $39,000 in back rent, a Manhattan Housing Court filing shows.
The management company that runs 552 Broadway, where El-Gamal leases space, said in the filing that he was warned in July and given until mid-August to pay up.
But when the August deadline passed, management company Royal Crospin Corp. filed the eviction notice.
It's not the first time El-Gamal's company has fallen behind in rent.
Royal Crospin sued Soho Properties last year for nearly $89,000 in back rent. El-Gamal's firm paid $56,000 to settle.
Even before eviction proceedings began, El-Gamal's lease was to expire this Oct. 31.
Soho Properties said it has had a number of problems with the leased space, but expects to settle out of court.

UPDATE - dot . . .dot . . .connecting . . .
Notice how el-Gamal, elZanaty, and Rauf are all financial fraudsters? They wheel and deal and reneg on terms, settle and get a much better deal in the process. Some even at taxpayer expense? [Recall this recent galling headline Ground Zero Muslim center may get public financing]
Slumlord Rauf ". . .received $80,000 in city funds, $384,000 from the Union City’s Community Development Agency, $1.3 million in construction loans from the Hudson County’s affordable-housing trust fund, and $630,900 from the state.
Rauf’s one time business partner James Cockinos sued him in 2008, alleging fraud, according to his Attorney Richard Rosa.
According to Rosa, 14 years ago Rauf received a $250,000 mortgage for the building from Cockinos, which he paid dutifully for 11 years. The suit alleged that without telling Cockinos, Rauf transferred ownership to Sage Developments and obtained a $650,000 mortgage on the same building. Then after the building was damaged by a fire, Rauf and Khan stopped making payments and Cockinos tried to foreclose on the property, only to learn the building’s ownership had changed."
Where'd all that money go?
