Rangel lives in three adjacent apartments at the Lenox Terrace complex. He said this week he would move his campaign office out of a fourth rent-stabilized apartment in the same building.
Rangel’s namesake center at City College aims to encourage poor and minority students to pursue careers in public service. The 38-year congressman secured $1.9 million in federal money last year to help start the center, prompting some Republican skeptics to call it Rangel's “Monument to Me.”
The center has raised about $12 million toward a $30 million goal.
