Adams to hold Sunset Park tenants’ rights workshop
Keeping a roof over your head is costing a pretty penny, according to Borough President Eric Adams, who said residents of one neighborhood are having a particularly hard time.
“To rent a home in Sunset Park, the average household must spend nearly six of every 10 dollars earned on rent,” said Adams, who called it “an unsustainable burden that prevents families from saving and leaves them vulnerable to displacement from the neighborhood.”
To help tenants understand city housing regulations, Adams will hold a free workshop called “Tenants: Know Your Rights” on Tuesday, May 24, at Sunset Park High School, 153 35th St., from 6 to 8 p.m.
