Second Telebroadcast - Friday 12/18 at 3:30 pm
Questions and Answers on J-51 Interim Court Order Regarding Rent Reductions

On 12/14 Representatives of the property owner and counsel for the plaintiffs, Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP and Bernstein Liebhard LLP, announced they had reached an interim agreement to adjust rents in each apartment affected by the recent Court of Appeals decision in Roberts v. Tishman Speyer Properties to an estimated rent-stabilized level for January and February 2010.  The rent adjustment will be reflected in the January invoices that will shortly be sent to residents.

Your Tenants Association along with Alex Schmidt of Wolf Haldenstein (counsel to the tenants in the suit) has arranged its second Telebroadcast of a J-51 question and answer session to answer your questions regarding the Interim Court Order. Council Member Dan Garodnick will MC the broadcast.

If you have questions about the Interim Order and its implications, please send your question in advance via an email to <j51confquestions@stpcvta.org> anytime from now through the beginning of the conference call.  Once the call begins, we will continue to accept questions submitted to us via email to the email address above.

If you do not have email, you can also pose questions by phone ahead of time by leaving a message with the Tenants Association's special temporary J-51 questions line at 1-(917) 388-9558 by Friday at 2pm.

While we cannot guarantee that every question will be answered, we will do our best to address as many as we can.
