Residents of a massive Brooklyn apartment complex are rallying today to demand that it be kept affordable.
Starrett City – also known as Spring Creek Towers – went up for sale in December. Final bids are due in a few days.
Residents are calling on the city and state to stop any new owner from raising rents to market rate.
About 90 percent of the complex’s 12,000 residents are
rent-stabilized. A spokesperson for the current owners says the sale
won’t change that.
Starrett City is the country’s largest federally-subsidized rental housing complex.
