O irmão grande está prestando atenção; é o landlord
Segunda-feira, maio 28o, 2007
Os olhos confidenciais ajudam ao esforço do eviction em unidades do aluguel-controle Os residentes de um dos últimos bastions do middle-class na palavra sempre-mais-cara de Manhattan seu landlord novo estão usando táticas de Orwellian em uma tentativa de dirigi-las para fora e de levantar aluguéis. As queixas concernem um dos complexos os maiores do apartamento do país, os desenvolvimentos gêmeos da cidade de Stuyvesant e vila do Cooper de Peter, compreendendo 110 edifícios em a campus-como o ajuste do lado do leste. É também um do estoque o maior da cidade da carcaça aluguel-estabilizada. Os Tenants afortunados bastante para prender um aluguer em uma de suas 8.000 unidades reguladas pagam uma fração da taxa de mercado. As economias permitem a um lifestyle unavailable aos muitos o middle-class Yorkers novo, replete com bungalows das férias e miúdos na escola parochial. Os Landlords têm mas one-way hike legalmente o aluguel mais do que uma quantidade simbólica anualmente: Persuada um tenant sair, ou prove as vidas do tenant em outra parte. Os Tenants dizem a empresa que global da propriedade real Tishman Speyer, que comprou o ano passado complexo para $5.4 bilhões, é acoplado em uma campanha para fazer ambos. Sobre o passado poucos meses, centenas dos tenants dizem que receberam observações nonrenewal em seus alugueres sobre suspeitas que residem em outra parte no mínimo 183 dias um o ano. As cargas são baseadas na evidência culled aparentemente por investigators confidenciais, dos registros, das ações da propriedade, e das bases de dados públicos das aplicações de crédito. O Leaseholders stunned pelo espaço da informação. “É como estão espiando em nós!” Jeanette dito Besosa, que trabalha nas nações unidas. Besosa foi acusado de manter residências em alturas de Washington de Florida, de Pensilvânia e de Manhattan; está montando agora uma pasta grossa dos registros que demonstram o repouso de Pensilvânia é um recuo do fim de semana, o townhouse das alturas de Washington uma propriedade do investimento, e o Florida dirige-se ao apartamento alugado da faculdade do seu filho. Suzanne Ryan disse que a companhia requisitou sua família fora da vila do Cooper de Peter para o fim de maio após ter descoberto que e seu marido possuíram uma casa beachfront do console longo. “Seu pouco Cape. Nós tínhamo-lo reparado acima de nos,” Ryan dito. Mas a família usou-o esporàdica enquanto uma casa de praia do verão, ela disse, e sua residência era na cidade onde suas duas crianças atendem à escola Catholic. 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
