: Path of Lease Resistance
: Rent Czar's at Home With Heated Give-and-Take
: By MICHAEL FINNEGAN
: Daily News Staff Writer
: Yearly 100 New Yorkers are booing and screaming at the people seated at the head table. Not unusual for a hearing on rent
: increases for 1 million city apartments.
: But one woman's yelling finally pushes Chairman Edward Hochman over the edge.
: "Officer!" he shouts to a cop at the back of the crowd of heckling tenants and landlords. "I can take most of this, but. . . . Could you,
: officer, do something? Arrest her?"
: No way. So Hochman lets board member Vincent Castellano resume his argument: that some rich people pay low rent.
: "You're blatantly lying!" the woman bellows.
: "I would really like a billy club," mutters Castellano.
: "We know you'd like a billy club," responds Hochman.
: Welcome to Ed Hochman's life on the front lines of New York's tenant-landlord war. As chairman of the Rent Guidelines Board, he
: must take endless abuse from irate tenants and landlords. He has counted 17 death threats on his answering machine.
: "I've come to expect it and let it roll off my back," he said. "What am I going to do, ask for police protection?"
: Though unknown to most New Yorkers, Hochman is one of the most important figures in the lives of city tenants and has enormous
: influence on the fortunes of their landlords.
: This week, he engineered a plan that would cap rent hikes on rent-stabilized apartments at 2% for one-year lease renewals, and 4%
: for two years. The plan is up for adoption by the nine-member board on June 24.
: For a man who is supposed to calm passions, Hochman is known for surprisingly frequent outbursts.
: Tenant advocate Bill Rowen of the Metropolitan Council on Housing recalled Hochman "tongue-lashing me and shaking his finger in
: my face" after Rowen shouted at a board meeting. "He went nuts," Rowen said.
: And Hochman doesn't deny that he once told Ken Rosenfeld, then a fellow From the New York Daily News, Saturday, May 15th:
