As of December 2019, the Homestead has been secured by Landmarks Preservation Commission in anticipation of judgment from final litigation. The owner, Leonard Tallo, was sued for "demolition by neglect." Judge Philip Straniere ruled that he pay $8.5 million in fines or surrender the property to NYC. This is the 4th oldest house in NYC. It deserves our respect and care; especially with the Seguine Mansion just across the street.
