After two instances of harassment from police impersonators entering their building, tenants at 50 West 93rd Street on the Upper West Side are holding a meeting with advocates and local elected officials to learn their rights and how to protect themselves.
The first instance occurred on August 20, 2015 when armed men, who identified themselves as police, entered the building, went to several rent stabilized tenants’ apartments, and questioned them about how long they lived in the building and who they lived with. Two weeks after the first incident, the suspects returned and rang the bell of another rent stabilized tenant.
The police impersonators have not yet been caught.
