New York’s affordable housing is also its historic housing. The median age of New York’s residential buildings is now 90 years old; at the same time, nearly a million units of housing, almost half of New York’s rental units across all five boroughs, are rent stabilized. Hardly surprising then, that a disproportionate number of those stabilized units are within historic buildings, whether those structures are officially recognized as such or not. 

Considering these facts, and taking to heart City Planning Commission Chair Dan Garodnick’s point that “ninety percent of the buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been built,” HDC sees stewardship of New York’s historic affordable housing stock as essential to its mission, and to the city’s future. HDC’s 2025 Conference will focus on New York’s historic rent-stabilized apartment buildings, which together constitute the city’s most abundant form of affordable housing.
