I was wondering why I kept getting all these hits from google searchs on notorious scumlord Margaret Streicker-Porres, until I saw that she owns the building that houses Chumley's. Voted one of NY's 10 worst landlords by the Village Voice, Streicker-Porres wanted the rent-stabilized tenants out, so she hired workers to do illegal construction that—oopsie!—damaged the building so badly it had to be evacuated. In the process, the long-time West Village watering hole on the ground floor is also shuttered. But unlike the SROs and other buildings she's cleared with her illegal and reprehensible tactics, now she's threatened a place where lawyers (and ibankers and other frat-tastic types, but I digress) drink. If you know lawyers, you know you don't get between them and their scotch. I can only hope they band together and sue this slag into the next century.
