ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Attorney General Letitia James announced on Wednesday of new protections for 25 low-income families, who were forced out of their affordable housing units back in March 2025.
Rochester tenants faced their Los Flamboyanes townhomes being demolished due to a redevelopment plan by Landsman Real Estate Services, Inc., and Landsman Development Corp. The company failed to tell tenants about their right to return to the newly built homes and they also failed to pay tenants enough in relocation payments and utility bills to ensure protection during the reconstruction.
Now, a recent agreement ensures tenants to be informed of their right to return to the future Los Flamboyances in April 2027, with additional compensation. In particular, the settlement protects tenants from eviction and utility shut-offs in their relocation homes. An additional $300 is meant to cover on-time application and utility fees.
“Today’s agreement puts money back in the pockets of Los Flamboyanes tenants who were misinformed of their rights and denied full relocation payments. My office will always stand up for tenants’ rights and ensure Los Flamboyanes residents can return to their homes,” said Attorney General James.
Originally, Landsman told tenants that they may be displaced due to a renovation project in April 2024, however, in December 2024, tenants were given a 90-day notice to those who remained in the townhomes.
Attorney General James will oversee updates and timelines during the project.
