Residents of an upscale Queens neighborhood are enraged over a brazen serial squatter who moved into a local $1.1 million home - and it's not the first time he's pulled off the scam, according to a report.

Accused con man Vernon Glass parked himself in the million-dollar home in the quiet, tree-lined community of Bayside more than two years ago, after the 2018 death of elderly homeowner and longtime resident Richard Klibschon, ABC Eyewitness News reported.

Incensed locals called the cops, reach out to their elected officials and even went to court to try to boot him - to no avail.

The home at 2340 205th St. had remained vacant after Klibschon, who lived alone and had no family, passed away, according to the report.

But that changed in March 2024, when neighbors first spotted the unwanted occupant who moved in.

A man at the home Sunday kicked a reporter for The Post off  his  property and lashed out at local residents, outrageously claiming that the  only thing you should be reporting on is this racist ass block.

It's not the first squatter scam Glass has allegedly pull off, Eyewitness News noted.
