I'm curious whether you were fed this line of an idea by a shark-like broker who spotted a slow, fat fish. He certainly deserves his 6%. Did he sell you the Brooklyn Bridge, as well? Btw, you do know your IP address can be traced back to you by tenants with a subpoena, right? Karma is a bitch, Ebeneezer.

Look at that building in the context of the street. It's madness.

"this is not an ethical treatise. It's business."

Such an attitude has worked wonders for the US economy.

Mopar-
I posted to get a clue. I was sure I wasn't the first one to come up with this scheme and thats why I posted to see if it was illegal or has been done illegally.

lol good point out on his wording bxgirl. and im sorry but if we evicted every rent stabalized and rent controlled tenant in this city it would be mad boring. rent controlled tenants are the last abstion of kooks in nyc and rent stabalized tenants might be the last bastion of the true working class we have.

i dont want to live in a city that is the mecca for everything yuppie that thw world spits up on it. u know what i mean?

I used the word scheme because thats what mopar called it:

"So, OP, you're not a landlord? Just hope to be? Get a clue. You're not the first to think of this illegal scheme."

wow you are 26 and are think that it is a good plan to scam the poor out of rent stabilized apartments..your mom and dad really instilled good values in you.. are you a friend of paris hilton?

Everyone should have to work and pay their own way.

Rent Stabilization is a form of welfare that has nothing to do with income.

Private landlords suffer at the expense of apartment hoarders who often don't pay enough rent to even cover basic expenses.

Every time a rent stabilized or rent controlled apartment is destabilized, a working, productive member of society has a better chance to find decent housing.

Diana, don't let the freeloaders on this site get to you.

There's nothing wrong with trying to get rid of your rent regulated tenants, as long as you follow the law.
