Dozens of workers at Maimonides Medical Center have gotten notice that they will have to move from their rent-stabilized homes.

A worker named Rose, who asked that her face not be shown on camera out of fear of retaliation, said she's worked at Maimonides for 20 years and has lived in her apartment for more than a decade.

“This is the first eviction notice that we got, which was in September 13, 2023,” she said. “We bring in a lot of money for this hospital, so I don’t understand why they’re doing this. It’s very hard and stressful, and very depressing too."

Maimonides purchased 11 apartment buildings more than 40 years ago to provide affordable housing to full-time employees. In 2018, the hospital sold seven buildings and started phasing out employee housing because of mounting costs and maintenance fees.

Now, Rose said the hospital is trying to evict her and nearly 40 other tenants from two remaining buildings.

“I’ve worked in COVID, I never stopped, I didn’t take days off, I never call out. So I’m just very disappointed in them,” she said.

Workers and retirees formed a tenant union after they received eviction notices in September, calling on hospital leadership to give them more time to find new housing and also pause rent payments, which are automatically taken out of their paychecks every month.

According to Rent Café, the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Borough Park is about $2,000.

Rose said her rent is $1,400, and she counts on that discount.

“We would have to go to a shelter. I don’t know, to tell you the truth. I don’t have no family here, just me and my boys,” she said.

A spokesperson for Maimonides told NY1 the hospital started sending emails, letters and posting notices on tenants’ doors back in 2022, alerting them that the buildings must be vacated.

According to the hospital spokesperson, the majority of the tenants who are refusing to leave their apartments are no longer employees.

But Rose said she still works at the hospital.

“February, we gotta be out. The Marshalls come. Where am I gonna go with my kids? I don’t have nowhere to go,” she said.

Rose said she plans to keep working at the hospital, as they end her lease.

Maimonides said current full-time employees who have yet to move were offered five months of free rent to get out by the end of February.
