The Q at Parkside

(for those for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain)

News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

Am I Rent Stabilized?

Most likely, yes. You may not know your power. You have rights. You have a lease. You are part of the much-maligned but not-to-be-dismissed system of rent regulation in NYC.

Find out whether you're at the party or not:

HALF OF ALL APARTMENTS IN NYC ARE STABILIZED - ARE YOU?

Lefferts resident Chris Henrick made that site/app. Thanks Chris!

Great resource. I used this and suspect my landlord either outright broke the law with 30-40% increases between vacancies, or heinously inflated the cost of "renovations.'

I live in Lefferts. Anybody have a suggestion for which resource listed could help me go through this information to verify I'm correct, and take legal action? There are so many listed, I'm not sure where to start.
