Concetta Passione just turned 100 years old on Saturday. Now the New York City Housing Authority is trying to kick her out, saying she's running a scam by living in Italy while her 73-year-old son occupies her $219 per month, one-bedroom apartment in a 49-year-old city housing project.
When it heard in 2009 that the elder Passione was spending most of each year in Italy, the city started investigating. After a lengthy probe, the city concluded that the Passione family ripped off the city to the tune of $9,849 over six years. The Passiones say that's baloney.
