Pei Chung, a Brooklyn social media personality accused of repeatedly dining and dashing at upscale restaurants, has been evicted from her high-end Williamsburg apartment owned by former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
Chung, who cultivated an online image as a Prada-wearing influencer, was frequently late paying rent and stayed in her apartment at 416 Kent Ave. even after her lease expired, according to court records. Documents state that by the time her lease ended in August 2024, she owed roughly $8,000. She allegedly remained in the $3,350-per-month unit after that point, potentially accumulating more than $50,000 in unpaid rent.
The office of City Marshal Robert Renzulli confirmed to Fox News Digital that an eviction warrant was carried out on Tuesday without any issues. The New York Post reported that Renzulli spent about an hour at the building changing the locks on Chung’s apartment.
“The apartment was vacant,” Renzulli said. “The young lady was not there. The eviction is completed.”
He added, according to the New York Post, that Chung’s belongings — including furniture, clothing and bedding — were still inside. Under city regulations, the landlord is required to store a tenant’s possessions for 30 days before discarding them.
“The general rule is that the landlord can dispose of the belongings, but in this case, I’m sure they’ll be speaking to their attorneys before they do anything like that,” Renzulli noted.
Chung was reportedly a difficult tenant. Neighbors told the New York Post there were “repeated outbursts, visible signs of conflict, and disorder in the hallway.” Building manager Bob Jenny said in court documents that Chung left garbage in common areas and created excessive noise.
“We are very aware of the situation and have a very active legal case against this Resident,” Jenny said, according to those documents. “NYPD has been here multiple times . . . with little long term improvement.”
Chung, known online for posing in skimpy lingerie and showcasing luxury brands like Cartier, Louis Vuitton and Burberry, gained notoriety after being arrested at least 10 times for allegedly walking out on expensive meals at high-end restaurants, the New York Post reported.
According to the outlet, exasperated restaurant workers claimed Chung, always dressed in designer labels, would present herself as a food influencer, order costly dishes she never intended to pay for, and then post photos of the meals on Instagram as if they were part of sponsored partnerships.
