113 Stanton St., September 2014
This is the epilogue of a well-tread story about how rent regulated tenants are exploited for the future value of gentry.
SMA Equities purchased 113 Stanton Street back in 2014, and spent the ensuing two years renovating the upstairs units and roof. All at the expense of building occupants, whose safety was allegedly compromised with the usual Mahfar-style tactics. (It even prompted a lawsuit against the landlord, which settled earlier this year.)
So, after this extended period in the war zone, the fruits of that experience just ripened, as it were.
Indeed, this glitzy “penthouse” rental at 113 Stanton Street is now available, and represents the culmination of both renovation and harassment activity. The apartment itself – four bedrooms and two bathrooms – is listed by Mahfar’s own brokerage RealNY for $7,970 in monthly rent. Ergo, the living quarters are custom built for pong-playing, post-grad frat types who’ll need to pack it in so as to afford the bonkers rent. Especially with a roof deck of that size.
