New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today issued the following statement at a City Hall news conference calling on the owners of Starrett City to commit to principles and a process to preserve affordability in the impending sale of the complex:
“After more than 30 years of benefiting from low-interest mortgages, publicly subsidized refinancing, direct subsidy and tax depreciation rules, it is only right that Starrett City’s owners affirm their commitment to affordable housing by adhering to principles like those outlined by tenants and NY ACORN. We need to do everything we can to protect the wonderful and diverse community that is the heart of Starrett City.”
