Brookfield Properties and LeFrak are taking aim at New York’s pandemic-era program to help residents who couldn’t pay rent, calling the initiative unconstitutional in two separate lawsuits filed Thursday in New York County Supreme Court.
The landlords alleged that the measure, dubbed the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), let some of their tenants not pay rent for more than a year while they waited for ERAP’s administrator, the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), to determine whether residents would get state dollars to cover unpaid back rent.
