••• “Mayor Bill de Blasio […] extolled the benefits of an overlooked aspect of the controversial rezoning of Inwood that cleared the City Council Wednesday: a kind of commercial rent control. Under the accord forged between the administration and local Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, all new mixed-use developments in the upzoned area receiving $2 million or more from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development must grant commercial tenants a lease of at least 10 years ‘with limited rental increases,’ according to official documents. This will apply to as much as 5,000 square feet of the total nonresidential floor area. ‘This was a really interesting new element to say, we’re going to create affordable small-business space in the new developments,’ de Blasio said in his weekly Ask the Mayor segment on WNYC. ‘If for some reason they need a space, or they need to move, they have a space that is at an affordable level.’ The administration also promised in its deal with Rodriguez to ‘work with knowledgeable community stakeholders’ in deciding which businesses will get leases.” That last part is terrifying. —Crain’s
