Longtime Williamsburg resident Tranquilina Alvillar finally moved back into her rent-stabilized apartment yesterday after winning a possibly-precedent-setting case against the landlord that forced her out, and the Times was on hand to chronicle the moment. "'It has been a very big struggle since I came to this country; I have worked nonstop,' she said, wiping tears from her face. 'I have felt depressed and all alone. I don't feel better yet, but I hope that soon I will.'" [NYT; previously]
