Rochdale Village residents protest against potential 30% rate hikes at Mitchell-Lama complex

Residents at Rochdale Village, one of the largest Mitchell-Lama co-op housing complexes in the country, staged a protest Sunday against proposed rate hikes that could rise as high as 30%.

Residents on Sept. 7 gathered at the Rochdale Park basketball courts against the backdrop of the Rochdale Village Annual Fall Festival to voice concerns about “draconian and unjust” rate hikes at the massive affordable housing complex, which is home to roughly 25,000 people.
