New York City landlords illegally removed rent regulation status from some rent-stabilized apartments in Kensington, Windsor Terrace, and other neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.
The scheme involved building owners, management companies, and contractors.
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on September 17, 2024
the return of 263 apartments to rent stabilization and reduction of rent for an additional 43 apartments throughout New York City.
The apartments, located in 21 buildings in Central Brooklyn, Upper Manhattan, and Queens, were either illegally deregulated or were subjected to illegal rent increases by the former owners.
The addresses of the nearby apartment buildings are
- 70 Dahill Road
- 230 Ocean Parkway
- 483 Ocean Parkway
- 31 Ocean Parkway
