A group of Brooklyn tenants has filed a federal lawsuit against two landlords, accusing them of illegally trying to force black residents out of their rent-stabilized apartments to make room for new renters who pay market rates. According to court documents, most of the tenants have resided in the complex for decades. The suit alleges that the owners have violated the federal Fair Housing Act as well as city and state human rights laws.
