568 Union - Home

Welcome to the informational website for the 568 Union DE LLC lawsuit.

If you are a current or former tenant, who occupied your apartment at any time after June 22, 2015, of the building located at 568 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, 11215, (“568 Union Avenue”), then you may be a member of a Plaintiff Class in a lawsuit against the owners of the aforementioned building, which is currently pending in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of Kings.

Plaintiffs here claim that Defendant received 421-a tax benefits at 568 Union Avenue. Under New York state law, these benefits were only available if all the apartments at 568 Union Avenue were subject to the rent-stabilization laws. Plaintiffs claim that Defendant violated the law by treating the apartments at 568 Union Avenue as if they were not rent-stabilized while they were receiving 421-a benefits. Plaintiffs claim that, as a result, tenants at 568 Union Avenue were charged more than the maximum legal rent for their apartments, and/or were denied the other benefits of rent-stabilization, such as mandatory lease renewals at amounts allowed under New York State law.

On April 13, 2023, the Court certified the lawsuit to proceed as a class action on behalf of all current and former tenants of 568 Union Avenue, who occupied their apartment at any time after June 22, 2015, (the “Class”).
