Katie Ann Presley testifies on deed theft case and domestic terrorism

Yes, hi, good afternoon.

My name is Katie Ann Presley.

I am a resident of New York City.

I'm here because my case is relevant not to taxes, but because it is with the Department of Finance under the Deed Theft Office.

I've lived in my building for over 11 years.

Seven years ago, an individual came into the building with no paperwork, no authority, nothing, and took over the building and has harassed and beaten

and did everything under her power, claiming that she is a former NYPD employee.

Her name is Christine Jordan.

She has done nothing but domestically terrorize us in the building, shutting off electricity, shutting off water.

I just got back electricity two days ago.

I was without electricity.

I have taken this matter to the DA's office.

Alvin Bragg has the case.

Courtney Vance, the case has been...

here, Gail, since you were a Manhattan Borough President, and nothing has been done.

That's 100 years ago.

It's 100 years ago, yes, ma'am.

But the good thing is that we want an investigation going because I have been assaulted.

My sons were assaulted and arrested, and these people were given protection.

Now, they have warrants out for her.

She's never been arrested.

This is my face, a concussion.

They kicked in the door and busted my face.

I ended up three days in the hospital.

This is domestic terrorism, okay?

I filed with the Division of Human Rights Office.

And finally, we have a case number 102294147.

And it says here on July 27th,

2023, Cadian Presley filed a complaint with the New York State Department of Human Rights, charging the above, which is Christine Jordan, the respondent, with unlawful discriminative practice relating to housing

because of age, creed, origin, disability, et cetera.

And after the investigation, the division has determined that

In its jurisdiction, in this matter, there is probable cause.

There's probable cause exists to believe that the respondents have engaged or are engaged in unlawful discriminatory practice that

You know, so they have been found guilty.

And I would like for this committee to...

to look into the deed theft because this individual has no right over this building and it's still going on.

I just got back electricity, I have a disability, and this has affected my entire life.

Okay, thank you very much.

It's not relevant, obviously, to the topic, but deed theft is a big issue for this council, so we will be in touch.

Yes, thank you, Gail.

Thank you, sir.

Go ahead.

Thank you to the committee.

Thank you very much.
