More NYC rent stabilization madness. The guy gets a 1500 square foot Upper West Side apartment for less than $800 per month, rent stabilized going forward. He also receives a lump sum of $876,619.10.
That’s because an appeals court found that Lane Altschuler’s landlord illegally over-charged him by nearly $3,000-a-month while receiving city tax credits for maintaining rent-stabilized units.

landlord Mann Realty had received over $310,000 in J-51 tax benefits.

I already thanked you another - very much more interesting - thread. It's really important that you first brought attention to the matter and I want to give you credit.
Now, hopefully, people in similar situations will see and begin looking into things themselves.
Publicity is GREAT.
Crooked Landlord got caught: 1 down, thousands to go.
At the first sign of retaliation, the landlord should be given a prison term.
Nice to know that karma sometimes, if rarely, exists.
With the $800,000 debt, why isn't the rent reduced to zero for the next 1000 months (83 years.) Better yet, since it is a condominium conversion, why isn't the tenant GIVEN OWNERSHIP of the apartment gratis.
This guy is a construction executive and is hardly in need of below-market rent and a windfall payment. I think it is crazy that the powers of the state have been mobilized to provide such an individual with lavish housing benefits, especially when there are others who are truly in need. This is not what the government is supposed to be doing.
I also find it interesting that other posters on this board react with jubilation to someone receiving the unearned. I guess that makes sense, as their progressive philosophy teaches them that everything is a matter of luck and factors outside of an individual's control.

As do I. That's why I pointed out the landlord's gains at taxpayer expense and over quite a period of time.
Of course, you could explain how the landlord actually "earned" the extensive tax breaks. I know many of this ilk and quite few deserve anything at all. They take because they believe they are better than you.
In addition. The tenant likely expended an enormous amount of energy to follow through. You have no idea. Little luck is involved. More like persistent diligence. Good for him.
Hopefully, more landlords and investment groups will be exposed in the coming year.
You know what I find interesting ? The blinders; inability to see that the landlord is the culprit, instead blaming someone more convenient. Eclipse of critical thinking. Very common these days.

And anyone who thinks that Mann is a victim here needs to seriously figure out the facts. If they can even tell the difference between fact and fairy tale.
Is it something they put in the water ... ? People simply cannot be that clueless.
