Fact-check: “most new york city apartments are rent stabilized”
Verdict: False (95% confidence)
The claim is directly contradicted by official NYC data. The 2023 NYC Housing and Vacancy Survey found rent-stabilized units made up 27% of the overall housing stock and 41% of rental units — far short of a majority in either case. Multiple independent sources (NYC HPD, NYC Comptroller, NYU Furman Center, CHPC) consistently put the share of rental units that are rent stabilized at roughly 40–44%, not a majority.
