El hermano mayor está mirando; él es el propietario
Lunes 28 de mayo de 2007
Los ojos privados ayudan a esfuerzo del desahucio en las unidades del alquiler-control Los residentes de uno de los bastiones pasados de la clase media en la opinión siempre-más-costosa de Manhattan su nuevo propietario están utilizando las táctica de Orwellian en un intento por conducirlas hacia fuera y levantar alquileres. Las quejas se refieren a uno de los complejos más grandes del apartamento del país, los progresos gemelos de la ciudad de Stuyvesant y aldea del fabricante de vinos de Peter, abarcando 110 edificios en a campus-como el ajuste del lado del este. También es uno de la acción más grande de la ciudad de la cubierta alquiler-estabilizada. Los arrendatarios bastante afortunados llevar a cabo un arriendo en una de sus 8.000 unidades reguladas pagan una fracción de la tarifa de mercado. Los ahorros no prohiben a forma de vida inasequible a muchos la clase media Yorkers nuevo, repleto con los bungalows de las vacaciones y los cabritos en escuela parroquial. Los propietarios tienen solamente una forma ir de excursión legalmente el alquiler más que una cantidad simbólica anualmente: Persuada a arrendatario irse, o pruebe las vidas del arrendatario a otra parte. Los arrendatarios dicen la firma global de las propiedades inmobiliarias que Tishman Speyer, que compró el año pasado complejo para $5.4 mil millones, se contrata a una campaña para hacer ambos. Sobre el pasado pocos meses, centenares de arrendatarios dicen que recibieron avisos nonrenewal en sus arriendos sobre suspicacias que residen a otra parte por lo menos 183 días al año. Las cargas se basan en evidencia entresacadas al parecer por los investigadores privados, de expedientes, de hechos de la característica, y de bases de datos públicos de las solicitudes de crédito. El alcance de la información atontó al Leaseholders. “Es como están espiando en nosotros!” Jeanette dicho Besosa, que trabaja en los Naciones Unidas. Besosa fue acusado de mantener residencias las alturas de Washington de la Florida, de Pennsylvania y de Manhattan; ella ahora está montando una carpeta gruesa de los expedientes que demuestran el hogar de Pennsylvania es un retratamiento del fin de semana, la casa urbana de las alturas de Washington una característica de la inversión, y la Florida trata el apartamento alquilado de la universidad de su hijo. Suzanne Ryan dijo que la compañía pidió a su familia fuera de aldea del fabricante de vinos de Peter para el final de mayo después de descubrir que ella y su marido poseyeron una casa frente al mar de la isla larga. “Su un poco cabo. Lo habíamos fijado encima de nosotros mismos,” Ryan dicho. Pero la familia lo utilizó esporádico mientras que una casa de playa del verano, ella dijo, y su residencia era en la ciudad en donde sus dos niños atienden a la escuela católica. City Councilman Daniel Garodnick, who lives in the complex, said residents have packed a series of legal clinics. “These are scary letters to get,” he said. “I think there are a number of legal, legitimate tenants who are getting caught up in this pursuit.” Tishman Speyer declined to comment on specific cases, but said in a written statement that it was routine for city landlords to contact tenants suspecting of illegally holding leases. “If residents feel a notice has been sent in error, there is a process in place to address each case individually,” the statement said. ” . . . We only send notices when we believe there is true cause.” Some tenants say they were given a chance to produce tax returns, voting records and credit card bills to demonstrate residency. Others face a trip to housing court, possibly with the expense of an attorney. Real estate experts say people shouldn’t instantly condemn Tishman. Abuse of rent stabilization rules is common in New York. Some leaseholders move out of town and illegally sublet their apartments for a hefty profit. Others hold on to units they don’t need for years, using them as weekend getaways or passing them on to friends. A few private eyes have built entire businesses out of following renters around and scouring public records to prove they don’t actually live in the apartments they lease. Some landlords go as far as to install hidden cameras in hallways to prove that a leaseholder has moved out, said Mitch Kossoff, a lawyer representing property owners. The incentive to catch a tenant cheating, he added, can be powerful: A vacancy means the landlord can immediately hike rents at least 20 percent. And any apartment where the legal rent rises above $2,000 can be removed from the stabilization rolls forever — a change worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to its owner. Many tenants believe that was Tishman’s ultimate goal with its purchase, converting units to expensive luxury condominiums. “They must have bought this place for too much money, and now they’re trying to throw everybody out and raise the rents,” said Besosa’s husband, Rafael Rodriguez. “But why should we give up? We have to make a stink.” Have Your Say: Big Brother is watching; he’s the landlord Please read our posting guidelines before posting. Alternatively you can discuss this report here. Related News
