Break for unholy landlord

HIS ATONEMENT is on hold.

Notorious landlord Steve Croman will stay out of jail until after the High Holidays, starting with Rosh Hashanah on Wednesday night, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jill Konviser ruled Tuesday.

In June, Croman, 50, pleaded guilty to multiple felonies for unlawfully driving out rent-stabilized tenants so he could collect higher rents.

Croman, who owns 140 apartment buildings, will spend a year on Rikers Island as part of the plea deal. But he asked to delay his sentencing during a court hearing Tuesday.

His next court date is Oct. 3. That means he will also be free for Yom Kippur, the Day Atonement, starting Sept. 29.

On Tuesday, representatives for state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman objected to the delay during a brief conference in front of the judge.

Some tenants were upset with the delay. “It’s outrageous because we spend so many holidays with no heat, no not water. No gas service. You name it,” said Cynthia Chaffee, 65, who lives in a building on 18th St. he owns.

“He gets to spend his whole summer in Southampton,” she added. “It’s a slap in the face to tenants.”

But not all Croman’s prayers were answered.

He still faces a civil suit filed by Schneiderman arguing that he hired a retired NYPD cop to scare tenants into taking buyouts, primarily in the pricey real estate spots on the Lower East Side and East Harlem.
