The City\u2019s chosen developer for a roughly 400-ft.-tall \u201caffordable housing\u201d development on city-owned land at\u00a0388 Hudson Street<\/a> (at Clarkson Street) was not only named near the top of the list of the 100 Worst Landlords in NYC by the Public Advocate. Camber Property Group was also the co-owner and sole manager of a building in the Bronx that in 2022 suffered one of the deadliest fires in NYC history, with many of the causes blamed on a lack of heat and defective safety systems about which tenants long complained. And at other low-income\/affordable housing projects Camber has built, bought, or managed, there is a disturbing pattern of complaints, violations, and evictions increasing once they take over, and a steady (and sometimes overwhelming) stream of evidence of poor and even dangerous stewardship of their buildings.<\/p>\n For months, we\u2019ve been\u00a0asking for answers<\/a> from city officials about their choice of Camber to develop this project, made in the final days of the Adams administration but continuing onward under the current one. With the application for this development poised to move ahead soon, we\u2019ve compiled a wide-ranging and frankly disturbing compendium of Camber\u2019s track record with other properties, and called on city officials to explain this choice \u2014\u00a0READ THE LETTER HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n The selection of Camber is but one of several elements of the City\u2019s plan for\u00a0388 Hudson Street<\/a> that\u00a0we have called to be changed<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n TO HELP:<\/p>\n October 5, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201c100 Worst\u201d Landlord\u2019s Reward for Fires, Evictions, and Violations: Prime Public Land at 388 Hudson Street (left) The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-365110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
