The Rent Guidelines Board froze rent on roughly a million stabilized apartments across New York City.
The freeze covers only rent-stabilized units. For tenants in those apartments, landlords cannot raise rent under the board’s action.
But for Bushwick tenants in unregulated apartments, the decision changes nothing. Landlords still face no cap on what they can charge.
The exact date of the board’s vote and the precise count of affected apartments were not immediately available. The number of stabilized units is described in Bushwick Daily’s reporting as roughly a million citywide.
