The premises that are at the very heart of this litigation are located in a building at 65 West 96th Street in Manhattan. This 29-story apartment building is composed of 217 dwelling units. The building was constructed in 1971 under New York City’s Mitchell-Lama program for low and middle income tenants. The rents that prevail at Tower West are comparatively low for the Manhattan area. This apparent bargain, however, is mitigated by the fact that residents must meet certain income level requirements (tenants may not earn over prescribed income levels) in order to be eligible to live in the apartments.1
