Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE), in partnership with New York State Attorney General Letitia James, New York Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), announced today the stabilization of a residential building in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, in the aftermath of a large-scale fraudulent scheme perpetrated against 20 immigrant families. As a result, the property is no longer at risk of foreclosure, the threat of eviction has been averted and the residents are on their way to becoming homeowners.
