a block away from each other,
so that patients no longer have
to go all the way to Manhattan
to get their comprehensive
care, which can often be
a difficulty, according to one
of the hospital’s leaders.
“Simple logistic things
can be very difficult,” said
the vice chair of clinical operations
Andrew Evans. “Just
having these incredible machines
will deliver much better
treatments.”
The outpatient facility will
offer oncology treatment for
a variety of cancers with care

this creates an arbitrary discrepancy
of rights which favors
the landowners over tenants,
as is the case with Vega’s
impending eviction.
“For no other reason than
that it is a smaller building,
they are excluded from the
protections of rent regulations,”
said state Sen. Julia
Salazar (D-Bushwick). “Our
rent laws advantage property
owners over tenants.”
The legislator in March introduced
a bill which would
prohibit landlords from evicting
a tenant or not renewing
their lease without good cause,
such as the tenant not paying
their rent, substantially violating
their lease terms, or if
the landlord or someone in
their immediate family want
to move into the apartment.
Salazar said that her bill
“Brooklynites deserve to
get top-tier care without leaving
the borough, and NYU
Langone Health and Perlmutter
Cancer Center are
deeply committed to making
that happen,” said Benjamin
Neel.
was just one of many that she
and her fellow pols upstate
will have to make law in order
to wrest power from landlords
and make the city more
affordable.
“Our housing crisis is like a
sinking boat with many holes
in it,” she said.
One protestor said that she
saw her community forced out
of neighboring Williamsburg
due to a loosely-regulated real
estate market and now fears
that the same will happen in
Bushwick.
“I used to work in Bushwick
for 28 years and I know
the situation,” said Maria Cortes.
“We are losing the neighborhood,
we are losing everything
and we have the right
to live over here, New York
is our home and we want to
stay in New York.”
