Many other owners of rent-stabilized housing across New York City are stuck with onerous debt after they took out hefty loans to purchase buildings, lift apartments out of the rent-stabilization system and raise rents. New tenant protections laws made many of those tactics illegal in 2019, upending their business model.
That’s a friendly way to describe a set of practices that are predatory and toxic to both society at large and the neighborhoods these lowlifes operate in.
Oh no, the scumbags that thought they could buy buildings and exploit the people living in them are now in debt. What shall we ever do? (Fuck 'em)

And every MAGAt in a trailer making minimum wage will fight you to the death that the free market will solve this, changing anything will prevent the American entrepreneurial spirit and regulations will only make things worse.
Brainwashing is amazing.

no single landlord should have control over that many units
A Gothamist review of court records shows at least 84 separate limited liability companies linked to Pinnacle filed at least 2,569 nonpayment eviction lawsuits in the five years between April 2021 and April of this year, when Summit took control.
The monkey paw has granted your wish!
It’s almost like all the modern problems in society are manufactured, hmm…
