The only thing atypical about this story is that the tenants got big time support to sue, which I doubt they would have if the name "Kushner" was not involved. It's a NY classic story for many decades, standard practice, it's how it's done when a building with some rent stabilized tenants is sold--usually with sophisticated enough harassment so it's hard to prove. It's why there are so few rent stabilized apartments left. And it's also why people fear fear fear their landlord dying. (And it's not rent controlled, that's different, tht was stopped long ago and the few remaining people who have it are as rare as hen's teeth). People fear their landlord dying even if they don't have rent stabilization, new landlord basically means your rent is going higher than you can afford. It's not always 100% greed, it's because the building cost the new owners tons more money than it cost the old owners years ago. Heirs are the ones getting the profit there.
