In a long-running effort to increase the rent at a Mitchell-Lama building on the Upper West Side, the owner, Trinity School, has succeeded in securing city approval to hike rents by as much as 13 percent in one year. This is more than three times the standard increase for rent-stabilized units this year. The city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which regulates Mitchell-Lama buildings with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, agreed to the plan.
