A brilliant two-story mural by Keith Haring is in danger of being destroyed by real estate developers, DNA Info reports.

The piece, which Haring painted on the wall at the Catholic youth organization known as Grace House in the early '80s, is a collection of his classic, whimsical dancing figures that snake up a stairwell.

When the Grace House shuttered after Haring died of AIDS-related illness, the mural remained and the property was bought by the nearby Church of the Ascension to be used as a rental building.

But four months ago, tenants were notified that the church would soon lose the building as a result of "financial difficulties" and they'd have to leave, probably so that housing developers can renovate the building and rent the apartments at a much higher rate.

The fate of the mural remains unknown but residents aren't hopeful.

"It’s a unique structure; it would be a shame to see it turned into soulless condos," 62-year-old tenant Denis McFarling said of the mural and building.

Though he doesn't know for sure, McFarling said he believes the building will be sold to greedy developers who will destroy the mural without a thought.

"They know the Harings are here but they don't really care about them," he said. "They don't really know how unique they are."

According to DNA Info, all but two tenants vacated the building before an August 1 deadline.

Those two tenants, Yana Sabeva and Robert Savina, have filed suit against the church on the grounds of wrongful eviction and hope it will save the mural as well as their homes.
