Three Days to Final RGB Vote — El Museo del Barrio Thu Jun 25 Decides First Mamdani-Era Rent Adjustment After 7-1 Preliminary Range of 0–2% / 0–4%

CORRECTED VENUE: The Rent Guidelines Board's binding vote on roughly 1M rent-stabilized apartments is Thu Jun 25 at 7 PM at El Museo del Barrio (1230 Fifth Ave at 104th St) — not Cooper Union as previously listed. Range set by the 7-1 May 7 preliminary vote: 0–2% on 1-year leases, 0–4% on 2-year. Six of nine board members are Mamdani appointees, but the freeze is not guaranteed — owner-side data still flags PIOC and operating-cost pressure. Final borough hearing wrapped Tue Jun 16 at Symphony Space. This is the single highest-stakes housing test of Mamdani's first six months.
