After seniors evicted, fuming Prospect Park Residence families head to Albany
Brooklyn landlord gave elderly tenants 90 days to get out
Friends and relatives of seniors who lived at a once-flourishing long term care facility, Prospect Park Residence (PPR) in Park Slope, are headed to Albany on March 1 to push a bill designed to protect the elderly from predatory landlords.
The families say it’s shocking that the state allows developer seeking to turn senior residences into luxury housing to kick out elderly tenants with only 30 days’ notice.
Only five seniors remain at PPR (and one of them is in the hospital at the moment).
