Sherwin Belkin Quoted in Crain’s New York Business on Exemptions to Proposed Rent Freeze
Sherwin Belkin was quoted in Crain’s New York Business in an article examining whether New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board has the authority to exempt older rent-stabilized buildings from a proposed rent freeze.
The piece explores efforts by landlord groups to differentiate between pre-1974 stabilized buildings and newer regulated properties, as well as the legal and political constraints facing the board. In the article, Belkin addressed the scope of the board’s authority, noting that while it has broad discretion to set rent increases, political realities may limit its willingness to do so under a mayoral push for a freeze.
The article, written by Kathryn Brenzel, was published online on April 27, 2026, by Crain’s New York Business.
