Pei Chung, the social media influencer famously known for allegedly dining and dashing at upscale restaurants, faced eviction from her plush Williamsburg apartment in Brooklyn on Tuesday. Her landlord, none other than former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, initiated the removal.

Chung, who is currently incarcerated over accusations of evading substantial restaurant bills, had a history of falling behind on her rent. According to court documents, she continued to occupy the apartment at 416 Kent Ave. well past her lease’s expiration.

Records indicate that by August 2024, Chung had accumulated nearly $8,000 in unpaid rent. Despite her lease ending, she remained in the $3,350-per-month residence, potentially accruing over $50,000 in additional unpaid rent.

The office of City Marshal Robert Renzulli confirmed to Fox News Digital that the eviction process was carried out smoothly on Tuesday. Reports from the New York Post stated that Renzulli spent approximately an hour 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 that her belongings — including furniture, clothing and bedding — were still inside the unit, NYPost reported. According to city rules, the landlord must hold the items for 30 days before disposing of 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,” he added.

The influencer was reportedly a troublesome tenant, according to the NYPost, which cited neighbors claiming there were “repeated outbursts, visible signs of conflict, and disorder in the hallway.” Building manager Bob Jenny reportedly added that Chung would leave garbage in the hallway and make excessive noise.

“We are very aware of the situation and have a very active legal case against this Resident,” Jenny previously said, according to court documents, NYPost reported. “NYPD has been here multiple times . . . with little long term improvement.”

Chung — known for flaunting skimpy lingerie and high-end fashion from Cartier, Louis Vuitton and Burberry on social media — rose to notoriety after being arrested at least 10 times for allegedly skipping out on lavish gourmet meals at upscale restaurants, NYPost reported.

According to the outlet, frustrated restaurant staff said Chung, always draped in designer labels. pretended to be a food influencer as she ran up pricey tabs she had no intention of paying, then posted the meals on Instagram as though they were sponsored.

Fox News Digital reached out to Eliot Spitzer for more information.
