A major landlord has been accused of systematically overcharging rent-stabilized tenants in Brooklyn, with allegations that the company improperly inflated rents by tens of millions of dollars. The lawsuit claims violations of state housing laws, arguing that tenants were charged rates far exceeding legal limits for stabilized units. Legal experts say the case could set a precedent for how rent-regulated housing is managed in New York. Critics warn that widespread overcharging undermines protections for low- and middle-income residents.
