This apartment is rent stabilized at $985 a month in Flatbush. Because of a 2019 law that Mamdani supports, they can't raise rents after bringing this apartment up to code so they can't afford to/are going bankrupt. This is the consequence of the very policies the Mayor supports https://t.co/G7t2YoJWU6

Market rate for a studio in that area is $2-3k. They're staying because the savings make the poor conditions worth it. The poor conditions are caused the rent regulations that make so many buildings in NYC insolvent & building restrictions that rid the market of competition
