This 52-unit building in South Slope is home to a diverse and tight-knit group of tenants, including many public sector and nonprofit employees, young families, and retirees living on fixed incomes. Since its inception in 1998, the building has had a 421-a tax exemption, providing rent-stabilized housing for middle-income tenants. However, the exemption recently expired, and tenants are now fighting to keep their building permanently affordable and secure, despite an owner with a history of deceptive and fraudulent behavior.

Help the tenants at 287 Prospect Ave keep their building permanently affordable! Pass the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act and the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act!
