Few Rent-Controlled Apartments Left in New York
(New York Posted) — It is among the cheapest rents in all of New York City: a 750-square-foot one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn for $63 a month.
In other ways, however, it’s one of the most costly. Its inhabitants, Magnus Saethre, 97, and his live-in caregiver, Devron King, have been locked in a vicious battle with the building’s landlord for years over the conditions of the unit — which are decrepit — and what they claim are attempts to force them out.
“The landlord’s been calling Adult Protective Services on us,” said King, 56. “He’s trying to suggest that I’m taking advantage of Magnus.”
