Egan, the boutique owner, disagrees, saying church members have aggressively peddled their beliefs on the sidewalk, blocked the entrance of shops and entered other businesses in the Colombo Building in an impromptu tour of the property.
The school bought the property and an adjacent lot for $3.8 million in the 1990s and is selling the building now because it no longer needs it for a planned Chinatown campus.
