October 2017

Philip Mortillaro is the founder and owner of Greenwich Locksmiths, located at 56 Seventh Ave. in New York City. The tiny shop has been operated by Mortillaro for nearly 40 years after he purchased the building for $20,000. In 2016, Chase Manhattan offered Mortillaro $2 million for the property. He turned it down.
