market rate conversions on park

Unknown

this may be old news or incomplete or wrong, but two apt. buildings just west of washington ave (downhill, i like to call it) facing each other across the street apparently just went from rent stabilized to market rate, causing lots of tenants to leave.

first off, too bad. second, i didn't know you could do that, but apparently you can under certain circumstances. how can i find out if my apartment is about to go market rate?

the alleged villain? youngish landlord named "conrad" and/or his dad. though i'm guessing that the folks who just left displaced some folks before them who could afford to pay even less.
