## Resource

New York’s Attorney General is suing two landlords, John Anderson and Claudette Henry, for failing to register rent-stabilized apartments in their buildings — potentially leaving tenants overcharged and facing illegal evictions. The AG’s office is enforcing a new program targeting “de facto” rent stabilization, where buildings that expanded beyond initial unit limits now qualify for rent control but weren’t properly registered. Anderson’s Crown Heights building, deemed rent-stabilized in 2016, has over 100 open violations and tenants say he retaliated by cutting utilities. Henry, already flagged as a worst landlord with 1,700 violations, also ignored repeated demands. The AG seeks civil penalties and court orders to ensure proper registration and refunds with interest — a bold move to protect working New Yorkers and enforce housing laws.
