Episode 73 of Building Knowledge with the BRI dives into why this year’s decisions by the Westchester County Rent Guidelines Board are so crucial for owners and managers of rent-stabilized multifamily buildings.

Our guest, Alana Ciuffetelli, Chair of the BRI’s Apartment Owners Advisory Council (AOAC), returns to the podcast to break it all down. A longtime voice in BRI media, Alana shares key insights on the mounting pressures facing housing providers across Westchester.

Topics include:

• Escalating operating costs—especially skyrocketing insurance premiums
• The ongoing impact of the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA)
• Why minimal rent increases are unsustainable for rent-stabilized buildings
• The growing sense of crisis in the multifamily sector
• And what she’d say directly to the Rent Guidelines Board if given the chance

If you own, manage, or advocate for multifamily housing in Westchester, this is an essential listen.
