Judith Goldiner, an attorney-in-charge of the Civil Law Reform Unit at the Legal Aid Society, said anxiety over rent regulations throughout the city was intense.
She said the average salary of New Yorkers living in rent-regulated apartments is $40,000 a year.
“This is a very scary moment. These are not people who can afford increases,” Ms. Goldiner said.
