He lived in an apartment on 35th Street in Blissville. He’s been a neighborhood nuisance for years. Always panhandling & being obnoxious.

Who said he lived in a shelter though? There are penthouse owners in LIC that are rapist by the way. Not saying that he’s one but stop judging by the looks of a person.
