(NYT19) NEW YORK -- Aug. 23, 2002 -- NY-CHINATOWN-GENTRIFY-2 -- From 200 to 400 families have been evicted from Chinatown every year in recent years, legal aid lawyers and social workers say. Many have moved to Chinese enclaves in Brooklyn or Queens. Some families have become homeless. It seems that many of the Chinatown apartments that tenants are clinging to are illegal subdivisions, minuscule single rooms divided by little more than wooden boards. So when the landlord comes to evict these tenants, he can do so by wielding the city's building codes. For 14 years, Zongbo Zhou, front and his wife, Caizhu Tan paid $300 a month rent on a squeezed 150-square-foot room, with a full-size bed, a small table, a cupboard and a couple of chairs. But now their landlord wants them out. Zhou asked, "Why wasn't the landlord interested in the fire hazards five years ago?'' (Chang W. Lee/The New York Times)
