In his latest podcast, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, explored the challenges facing owners of rent stabilized buildings with guests Kenny Burgos, CEO of New York Apartment Association, a landlord group created by the merger of the Rent Stabilization Association (RSA) and Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), and Matt Engel, President of Langsam Property Services Corp. and one of the executive members of the New York Apartment Association. Topics included the impact of the 2019 HSTPA regulation on rent stabilized properties; the need for the government to incentivize private investment in rent stabilized buildings; rising expenses to operate buildings including insurance costs and unfunded mandates approved by elected officials; how tenants are affected negatively when living conditions deteriorate due to the lack of investment in properties; and the need for government and the private sector to collaborate to identify solutions.
