Three rent-stabilized apartment buildings in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, have been sold to a new owner, raising concerns about potential rent increases and tenant displacement. The transfer follows a trend of private sales in rent-regulated housing, where landlords often seek to exit the program to avoid strict rent controls. Tenants in these buildings may face uncertainty as the new ownership assesses policies, including whether to maintain affordability under existing regulations. Advocates warn that such transactions could weaken protections for low- and middle-income residents in New York City’s housing market.
