Pratt Retracts Eviction Notice for Engineer Who’s Lived on Campus Since ’67
(DNAINFO) Ben Fractenberg | November 10, 2015 — Pratt Institute’s chief engineer, Conrad Milster, who was scheduled to be evicted from campus housing in January, will be allowed to stay indefinitely, a school spokeswoman said Monday.Milster, who is 79 and has lived in campus-owned housing since 1967, received an eviction notice along with four other faculty and staff members, to vacate a historic townhouse owned by the institute along Willoughby Avenue by Jan. 31 2016, according to the letter dated Sept. 11.
But the school told Milster on Friday he could stay because he needs to be available on a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week basis to make sure the campus heating system runs smoothly, Milster and the spokeswoman said.
