16 months after an alleged arson closed down Yasmin, it finally reopened — the result of a legal fight with both its landlord and insurer.

“When they made me pay the money, they forced me to,” he said, adding that he held no ill-will towards the landlord but was ginning up for a legal fight against his insurance company, which Eltawil says did not pay for loss of income. “The landlord I can understand, ‘Hey, insurance is not paying me, I’ll sue you.’”Yasmin at 799 Valencia Street.

This May, Yasmin’s landlord filed a lawsuit against him after he fell behind on rent, he said, “because the insurance was not paying me the rent.” The two settled soon, Eltawil said, and his landlord allowed Eltawil to gradually pay back the rent he owed — plus attorney’s fees, which amounted to nearly $10,000.
“They say that they’re investigating the fire,” said Eltawil, who said he has tried “everything” to push the insurer to take the next step, including hiring a claims adjuster and a lawyer to advocate on his behalf.
