Tenants and elected officials rally at the Riverton Houses in Harlem in New York prior to foreclosure auction

---

Tenants and elected officials rally at the Riverton Houses in Harlem in New York on Sunday, March 7, 2010. The historic middle-class Harlem housing complex is scheduled for a foreclosure auction as a result of alleged over-leveraging and speculation by the buildings' owner, Laurence Gluck. Gluck purchased the complex in 2005 for $135 million with additional financing a year later. The tenants contend that in order to repay the loans half of Riverton's low and moderate income tenants would have had to be forced out in a five year span. (© Richard B. Levine)
