Page "Suzanne Kaaren" Paragraph 17

Sidney Blackmer died in October 1973.

The Blackmers had lived in his family home in Salisbury, North Carolina, until it was damaged by fire in 1984.

Afterward, she resided in a rent-controlled Manhattan apartment at 100 Central Park South.

According to her obituary, real estate developer Donald Trump bought the building and threatened to tear it down to build something more lucrative.

Blackmer refused to budge, and, in 1998, a court ruled that Trump had to allow the rent-controlled tenants to remain.
