==== 1) “2.4 million rent-controlled apartments… and 1.4% vacancy rate.” ====

Verdict: half true, half false/misleading.
* Vacancy rate (~1.4%): essentially correct for 2023 (1.41%). Rent Guidelines Board<ref>{{cite web|title=Rent Guidelines Board|url=https://rentguidelinesboard.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2025-HSR.pdf|publisher=Rent Guidelines Board|access-date=2026-01-17}}</ref>
* “2.4 million rent-controlled apartments”: false. - ~2.4 million is the scale of the entire rental stock (occupied rentals) used in the vacancy-rate denominator, not rent-controlled units.
