Elizabeth Street Garden received an eviction notice from the city Sheriff’s Office Wednesday, giving the current owner 14 days to move out.

This comes one week after Mayor Eric Adams said the city was moving forward with plans to turn the Garden into affordable housing for seniors.

Since 2019, workers at the Manhattan garden have been trying to find alternatives to build the housing.

“The beauty of the Haven Green project is our administration is delivering on two critical issues front of mind for everyday New Yorkers: accessible, new green space and affordable housing, especially for our vulnerable, formerly homeless seniors. The only way to solve our housing crisis is to build more, and this forward-thinking project allows us to do just that, while creating a community space truly for all,” a spokesperson for the Mayor’s Office said in a statement.

The Garden says it will continue to work with their legal team to try to find an alternative in the next 14 days.

“While we have been expecting the notice to be served, we are very disappointed that Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer have refused to hold off on the eviction despite ongoing negotiations and thousands of letters from the public demanding they save the garden,” Elizabeth Street Garden said in a statement.
