Forum Scheduled For Tenants Of 13 Recently-Sold Inwood Buildings

INWOOD, NY — Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer will host a tenants rights forum for the residents of 13 recently sold Inwood buildings. The buildings — on Sherman, Post Vermilyea avenues— changed hands in a package deal between two private real estate firms

The forum will take place at at IS 52, located at 650 Academy St. between Broadway and Vermilyea Avenue, from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 23, according to the Manhattan Borough President's office.

"When there is a change in ownership, it’s important to know what your rights are as tenants," Brewer said in an invitation to the forum.

Tenants of these recently-sold buildings are encouraged to attend the forum:

• 109 Sherman Avenue
• 113 Sherman Avenue
• 117 Sherman Avenue
• 121 Sherman Avenue
• 125 Sherman Avenue
• 129 Sherman Avenue
• 131 Sherman Avenue
• 22 Post Avenue
• 26 Post Avenue
• 30 Post Avenue
• 34 Post Avenue
• 38 Post Avenue
• 66 Vermilyea Avenue

The buildings were listed for $62 million in August of 2016 and ended up selling for just over $63 million. The portfolio represents a sizable portion of Inwood, including 359 residential apartments and two retail stores, according to a press release from Eastern Consolidated — the firm that listed the buildings. Also included is a surface parking lot described as "behind the buildings."

These buildings do not occupy land subject to rezoning in the city's Inwood NYC Neighborhood Plan, which has become a contentious issue in the neighborhood.
