Summary
City Council is confronting HPD over steep rent hikes in Mitchell-Lama housing, demanding answers on how costs are rising despite affordability promises. With average rent increases hitting 29% across 37 buildings—and one Bronx complex facing a 30% jump—residents are alarmed, especially after being assured minimal or zero increases. HPD cites asset sales and federal subsidies as fixes, but thousands eligible for rent freezes remain unenrolled, creating confusion. Council members push for transparency and solutions to protect vulnerable tenants without sacrificing program sustainability.
