The State University of New York is moving to evict four longtime residents from rent-regulated apartments in Midtown if they don’t leave on their own in the next two weeks. SUNY wants to turn two buildings at 119 and 121 East 54th Street into a graduate center on international relations. Some cite this move by the state university as the latest example of a double-standard: Private building owners can’t evict rent-regulated tenants because of state laws protecting them – but the state itself can. more [Sun]
