    i feel like an important piece of the story should have been near the top, but was buried at the bottom of the article:

    Eventually, Ms. Lesser decided to leave the building voluntarily, because the eviction effort had caused her “to suffer severe emotional harm,” according to the district attorney, Mr. Williams.

    She filed a fair housing complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2018. Ms. Lesser also tried to sell her apartment, for $467,500, but the Rutherford rejected the proposed buyer, prolonging the dispute, according to Mr. Williams.
