The 130AMI rates are from 2200 to 3150, MR 3500 to 8200.
It's pretty insane when you think about it. And the building definitely seen some changes when it happened. We started seeing NYPD and FDNY in the building regularly. Do you guys remember the incident at Waterline Square? Something similar happen in our building recently.
Again you have my sympathies. No way would put up with that sort of nonsense.

Wow the city also failed in providing mental health aid. After the first fire this person should’ve gone through an evaluation but it doesn’t sound like that was provided. Pre pandemic the city was way better at proving that type of aid.
Woah - that is (literally) insane and more so that he was allowed to stay on after doing it the first time. He needs to be institutionalized for his own safety and that of everyone around him.
Does anyone know if it's possible to negotiate with these kind of units that are hard to fill? Wouldn't they prefer someone pay 2200 on a 2500 unit for example instead of potentially nothing if they give it to a homeless person?

If they give it to the homeless person I believe the city pays the building the rent. Kinda like how ppl with vouchers have the city pay a portion of their rent (sometimes all depending on the situation). So technically they get the money regardless.

In another tread we covered this; buildings are contractually bound to hand over units for use by city to house homeless and other "referrals". Basically city treats "affordable" housing units as their own resource pool if you will to deal with other needs such as homeless.
As for negotiating rents down, don't think that can or would happen.
These are rent regulated apartments with set legal rents. If a LL decreases that number it can become the new legal rent. Things like free months rent and other things thrown in that don't actually affect legal rent are another matter. Buildings were giving out (IIRC) one or two months free rent with lease signings during height of covid panic. But that doesn't change monthly rent...
Again house (as in developer) always wins in these situations. People in buildings might not be thrilled with homeless or whatever being moved in by city, but LL gets his money which in end is all that matters I suppose.
